DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
I have been holding on to this nugget for a few weeks now. Jon Thompson of Thompson Young Design turned me on to this TED Talk after he sat in on one of our early design reviews. Jon has been a great critic in the past three reviews he has been involved in, and I [...]
Final Conceptual Review –Of course, it was the most relaxing weekend ever I had! As a group we smoothly finished our conceptual design of GAP SHED, but it is just at the mid-point for Studio V-design and built. There were full of VIPs in that small meeting room on last Friday , leaving us tons [...]
Today we are working on our details. I've never imagined that there're so many work to do after design. A lot of stuffs that I thought I knew from beginning turns out that I didn't really know. For example, the sinks. I thought we can just purchase some sinks from Lowe's, and every thing will [...]
We still work on the roof system for a few days. Although we have a lot of different ideas, they still do not work well, either technical problems or aesthetical problems. The roof study becomes one of the most frustrating experiences for Studio V. However, I find something funny in drain system study. In Monday, [...]
While we did not have studio today, Studio V met as a group to further advance our design for the shed. Things we wanted to look more at included materials, the ROOF, and how the counter spaces would operate, especially the island in the middle. In terms of materials, we were specifically looking at the [...]

So we visit Rosebank this afternoon to learn some ideas about a certificated GAP shed, actually I wish I could have done this field trip at the beginning of this semester. FloorPlan----Nicole’s plan combines modular and [...]
After working for a month separately, our studio v finally become one group again. Andtoday we are trying to get our team working in a same floor plan and a certain reasonable structure. We worked the whole Friday afternoon, and everyone try to come up with a practical idea. It was a long afternoon, I'm [...]
Two tribes have merged into one. After the review of the two group concepts yesterday, Studio V is now working as one group of seven. By next Friday, our goal is to have one clear and complete design concept. Combining some of the best ideas from both designs is our next step in the design [...]
Today we continued working in our two groups on our designs for the GAP Shed. Like others said earlier, my group with Nicole and Elppa are working towards a more modular design, whereas the others are focusing on a design more focused on the experiences in the shed. Halfway through the studio, both groups met [...]
While John, Nicole and Elppa work together as “Team Modular”, Ashly, Stacie, Yuxiang and me work as a team. Our Team has a much more awesome name, It is "MA". "MA" is a Japanese word which can be roughly translated as "gap", "space", "pause" or "the space between two structural parts." Well, In China, we call this [...]
