DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Another review has come and gone and once again we find ourselves coming away with more questions than answers. We came a long way in only a week in a half; a lot of problems were solved. Mainly, the overall layout for the kitchen, all of it's components, including the bathroom finally works programmatically. It [...]
Nine preliminary plans have led us to one ultimate commercial kitchen design and Studio V is now incorporating a few last minute details. We had no idea what was in store when began researching the DHEC regulations for on-site wastewater systems, but, as it turns out, there's a lot of research and strategy that goes into the [...]
This Saturday was the first day Studio V got to see the steel chassis; we plan on using as our foundation for the commercial kitchen design. The idea of building on a manufactured mobile home chassis is the affordability, availability, and mobility of a prototype design. When we got the news about two weeks ago, [...]
Today, we got yet another review under our belts. These reviews are always helpful, and it seems as though the information and feedback continues to increase as more people begin to wrap their minds around this project. Of course, all feedback is good feedback and we appreciate the ones that were able to make it [...]
Definitely a few more things stirring than mice here at the Clemson Architecture Center. Everyone is getting ready for the review tomorrow. The pressure is on with fifteen or so people scheduled to be at our review; as students we will be outnumbered two to one! Working in this second phase has been more enjoyable, [...]
Small groups are in session, and things are getting real. On the bright side, my group members and I all seem to have similar ideas about where we want to go with our design. Once it was clear that we would, in fact, be building atop a mobile home chassis, the momentum had us feeling [...]
After the first design review the challenge to join many designs into one design started. At the beginning, In our small group design we had to critique all of our individual program of the kitchen and to form a shared beneficial program. The kitchen design started to build from the walls up. While starting to [...]
At the beginning of last week, I thought, for sure, that I would be doing my individual commercial kitchen design based on "cargotechture" construction methods. However, after further research, I have come to the conclusion that the idea of stick-building a new structure onto the bare chassis of an old mobile home, would be the [...]
Being in Studio V there is no off day. In Studio V our schedule has been planned to make every deadline and focus on finishing our project on time. Before this winter storm all of our individual designs were moving ahead just as planned. We still have a scheduled review this Wednesday, all of the [...]
This Sunday, our studio met for a few hours in the afternoon just to see what everyone had got done and worked on since Friday. Professor Pastre was there to meet with us and got around to talk to all of us to give us inspiration and check to make sure we were all still [...]
