DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
While we did not have studio today, Studio V met as a group to further advance our design for the shed. Things we wanted to look more at included materials, the ROOF, and how the counter spaces would operate, especially the island in the middle. In terms of materials, we were specifically looking at the [...]
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 [...]
After working for a month separately, our studio v finally become one group again. Andtoday we are trying to get our team working in a same floor plan and a certain reasonable structure. We worked the whole Friday afternoon, and everyone try to come up with a practical idea. It was a long afternoon, I'm [...]
Today was a huge benchmark for our conceptual design. Both groups presented strong design applications and solutions for a highly functional GAP shed. Though there is still much work to do, we were able to take a look at both designs and see which circulation patterns, functional qualities, and structural options contained better solutions. There [...]
Individual Design Presentation-It was a market of ideas. I focused on creating green space, linking three components function separately, which also bring landscape close to people in the shed. However, My design had been thought as being romantic rather than reality. I feel like I still got a lot to learn from the studio design [...]
While John, Nicole and Elppa work together as “Team Modular”, Ashly, Stacie, Yuxiang and me work as a team. Our Team has a much more awesome name, It is "MA". "MA" is a Japanese word which can be roughly translated as "gap", "space", "pause" or "the space between two structural parts." Well, In China, we call this [...]
As the days come closer for our individual design review, we are all feeling overwhelmed yet excited. As John mentioned he was focusing on electricity, that seems so be the consist among most people with Elppa looking into the cooler and having that as the focus while You wants to make the GAP standards stand [...]
As Nicole wrote about on Friday, we held a presentation that afternoon to discuss the many factors that will directly influence the design of the GAP Shed prototype (You can see the presentation slides here). We had a great group join us in the conversation. Ray Huff was there to add his creative and logistical expertise, not [...]
Our studio went to Sweetgrass Garden today, which is the site that our shed supposed to be placed at. We had been eager to know that what is the difference between the Sweetgrass Garden and Dirthugger Farm, which we visited on Monday, for a long time. The Sweetgrass Garden is located in Johns Island, and [...]
Welcome to the CAC.C Studio V blog. This blog will be updated daily by the students and professor of Studio V as a way to document our design/build process, and keep all those who may be interested in our progress of the semester’s project informed. STUDIO V focuses on architecture and tectonics, particularly the relationship [...]
