DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Since being back from break its been hard to get back into the swing of things. Although Monday and Tuesday this week felt relatively slow, somehow we have blinked and it is already at the end of the week. Despite this slow feeling, we've hit the ground running and hopped back into where we left [...]
In the heart of Charleston's Old Towne Creek Park, 10 of us are crafting more than just a pavilion—we're shaping a community. This project, part of Clemson's Community Build Program, began with individual designs that evolved into collaborative concepts presented to the Parks Department, receiving great feedback both times. After rigorous sessions, we finally settled [...]
Decisions, decisions, decisions! We are currently designing the roof of our pavilion and the topic of discussion was one roof or two roofs... I think we'll do two! We are all working hard in our small groups to have designs ready to show our clients on Friday. We love working [...]
As we finalize our full studio group design, we're beginning to put together our boards to present to Meeting St. Academy on Wednesday. Last Friday, our studio got together and split up all of the drawings, putting one student in charge of each drawing over the weekend. In our presentation we want to be as [...]

There is something amazing about layering sketch upon sketch to diagram out a space or a sectional idea until it morphs into a realized design. Most groups have been using this technique as a [...]
Good morning, Today begins the first day of phase 2 on the Frierson Elementary Pavilion. We’ve spent the last week and a half in research mode focusing on site analysis, demographics, the history of Montessori education, and precedent studies. All of which are pertinent to creating an outdoor classroom that fits the needs of the [...]
We're back in Charleston and BACK IN ACTION. For the next week we will be working in small groups of 3 to push designs for the Farm Stand. Over the last week we skype'd during our "hurri-cation" to make sure we were all on the same page. Come Monday, we shared our designs and diagrams [...]
This week at the Studio V studio, we have been polishing our designs in order to better fit the needs of REDUX, the idea is to propose an element on the up fit in great detail in order for them to have a better idea of what they will be receiving, this week the focus [...]
