DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
This week in studio, we've been preparing for our first concrete pour which will be for our pavilion's slab. We've spent the weekend and the early parts of. this week prepping our site by digging out the area that the slab will be in, and then laying out the rebar. We've also had a crew [...]
Today the studio split into two crews. My group went to the site to measure out where the pavilion would be. This involved four of us stretching tapes out and re-adjusting everything so it makes a perfect square and sits well between the trees. We had to hammer rebar into the dirt to mark spots [...]
Today in studio we received some feedback from our structural engineer, John Moore, on the CD set we had sent to him for his approval. John sent us back some of our sheets with his own markups, indicating elements that needed to change or be adjusted. A lot of the comments that were discussed today [...]

Below is two images of our physical model where you can see our design a little bit clearer, there were [...]
The studio got a last-minute surprise this week... due to scheduling issues, the review has been moved to Wednesday! This is a welcome change, as it has allowed us to spend more time on details such as furniture systems, roof material selection, and ground plane decisions. It has been a long week and many hours [...]
With a studio review approaching this Friday afternoon, our studio is hard at work finalizing our group design for the pavilion at Stephen Washington park. Over the weekend, the group found a new precedent which has begun to drive our design moving forward. The MPavillion 2018 project by Estudio Carme Pinos in Melbourne, Australia uses [...]
Today in studio, we had the opportunity to meet with the James Island community and neighbors of Stephen Washington Park to share our small group designs. Each of the three small groups presented the proposals, showing our models and boards to the community. Everyone brought a lot of excitement and encouragement, which made the review [...]
Today, the small groups are making a final push for our presentation tomorrow. Tomorrow, each of the three groups must present their pavilion idea to Jason and Rodney from the city, and two community leaders who will critique our designs and provide us with thoughts and feedback. Most groups finished their deliverables over the weekend, [...]
