DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As the semester has progressed on through design iterations, presentations, and cd sets, it finally is approaching "go time". This week is a full send on shop drawings and material counts / orders so we may start fabrication in the wood shop as soon as this weekend or next week. Currently something that I have [...]
After about seven weeks of planning, designing, and building, we’re finally close to finished on the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall and it has been a complete success so far all things considered. What started as a rough planning process working through the best way to fabricate the pieces and producing a material count, has [...]
We’ve officially started transporting materials to our site! With both beams cut, assembled, stained, and finished, it took the whole studio to get them loaded onto the truck and hauled them out for placement. Over the past few weeks, we’ve gained valuable experience in the shop, and now we’re ready to dive into the next [...]
There's two things you should know about me. I love Jesus, and I love coffee. I'll always be down to go grab a cup of coffee, especially if it means we get to check out a new shop! I was born and raised in Charleston, so over the years I've had a chance to try [...]
For the past week or so in studio, I have been a part of the group that is in charge of creating shop drawing for a project that was started last semester at the Old Towne Creek Park. The shop drawings themselves have been a great learning experience for myself because I get to actually [...]
Yesterday marked a huge milestone for our studio. We had the opportunity to meet with a highly respected structural engineer, diving deep into the mechanics of our truss and cross-bracing systems. Since structure is the backbone of our project, this meeting was very important in refining and elevating our design. We began by reviewing column [...]
In the Community Build studio, the beginning of February has been eventful. We are currently moving towards a February 18th deadline as we work to synthesize our many ideas and narrow down our final group design to be proposed to the city. Most of the studio met yesterday to compare sketches and study models, then [...]

After the client presentation last Friday, the weekend was taken to passively think about the future of the project. No pen to paper necessary, but everyone was tasked with maintaining a constant buzz of thoughts concerning the feedback received for each small design. When meeting on for class time Tuesday, Studio V met as a [...]
Designing any structure for a client can be very difficult sometimes, almost as if you're solving a puzzle. However, the process of creating a design and presenting it can sometimes be forgotten by those who aren't involved. For example, there are multiple stages of iterations that most people won't see outside of the immediate team [...]
