DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Another day another studio. We are entering the culmination of projects in the shop between individual components of the Studio Pavilion and the newly Intro to Craft project. The shop is becoming clustered with incoming materials, materials needed to cut, and materials in progress. . The big goal for this week, is to begin [...]
These past few weeks we have had several projects in the works, everyone contributing at some point. I have been helping with the design of the walls from the market stalls, focusing on the connection points and transparency of these walls through physical model making. . The process started in a small 2’x2’ mockup just [...]
Hi, Today we split the group in half. Group One : went on site to re-flag the pavilion with our new adjusted orientation and positioning of our structure. From our first try we noticed that our ramp was angling your body towards the tree along the path so we went back on our model and [...]
Everyone has their part to play in finalizing the various details of our design before construction begins. Whether be iterations for the trellis, storage benches or display walls. Over the weekend some were working on more iterations based on discussion from Friday, while others were model making to flush out the logistics of the designs. [...]
The group has been making steady progress as we get close to wrapping up the semester. Yesterday we continued working on a variety of tasks. We just received structural updates from John Moore on the project with the Conservancy of the Sea Islands. With this information, we aim to apply the corrections to our construction [...]
The group is working together in shifts of 4-5 people to finish the table and benches for Stephen Washington Park. Yesterday, the morning shift made serious progress on bench 1, beveling and welding it together. The afternoon shift worked on grinding down the bench and priming the table that was finished being welded on Monday. [...]
The group is still working on the Revit model for Conservancy of the Sea Islands. As many architecture students know nothing is ever really finished when we want things to be finished. A schedule/plan is a more looked to as a good idea and what we are striving towards... ALSO thanks to minecraft brain and [...]
Coming off of our "heavy" snow weekend, we are continuing to produce individual schematic iterations of sweetgrass basket stands. Drawing on feedback from our meeting with Dolphin Architects, the Sea Island Conservancy, and our artisan representative, Corey, our team has divided our areas of focus into three categories. The first being a layout of stands [...]
This week has been eventful! As Anna discussed, we poured our concrete slab this week. The process was fascinating, and really fun to be part of! Back in the shop, a group of us finished building the formwork for our concrete piers. After we remove the formwork from the slab, we will install this formwork [...]
We officially broke ground on site! With the concrete formwork nearly complete and rebar on its way, the next week will be dedicated to bending rebar and preparing the site for the slab pour and concrete footers. The images show us digging out the footers for the structural spine of the project and digging to [...]
