DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
This week has been important for us because we are starting to finally branch away from preliminary designs to finalized schemes that require information on hardware and materials. We know what we want to do and how it will fit in the space. The question is, how do we build it? One important thing that [...]
The last time that we met with REDUX was on the 23rd. Since then, we have begun to single in on our ideas not only as individuals, but as a team. In order to do this, we had to section off who was going to focus on each aspect of the project. We also started organizing [...]
The wall frames are up and it's finally time to give the CropStop some skin! For the last couple of weeks, it's been a little frustrating to deal with our learning curve when it comes to building structurally sound floor supports and wall frames. We've put them together and taken them apart so many times that [...]

We met as a studio today in order to talk more about the roof. We had some helpful insight from Ray Huff about how many of our ideas can get complicated for us to build let alone some one with no design experience. Then we came to the realization that one roof is the best [...]
http://www.rosebankfarms.com/ Rosebank ---- To get experience through the practice, on-the-spot investigation and case study are always shortcut for architects. 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 [...]
