DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
This is the first day after spring break. During the break, some of us stayed in Charleston working together about the whole structure of our shed, others traveled around in the US. I hope all of us have a good break. I still work on the drainage system. In last review, I got some information [...]
Final Conceptual Review –Of course, it was the most relaxing weekend ever I had! As a group we smoothly finished our conceptual design of GAP SHED, but it is just at the mid-point for Studio V-design and built. There were full of VIPs in that small meeting room on last Friday , leaving us tons [...]
Today we are working on our details. I've never imagined that there're so many work to do after design. A lot of stuffs that I thought I knew from beginning turns out that I didn't really know. For example, the sinks. I thought we can just purchase some sinks from Lowe's, and every thing will [...]
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 [...]
Excuse the tardiness of this post. I have been digesting the thoughts below for several days/years and have been having a hard time expressing my thoughts clearly. Now, don't expect what's written below to be clear. As Otto said to me during potty training, "I'm just trying my best..." As you've read over the last [...]
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 [...]
Two tribes have merged into one. After the review of the two group concepts yesterday, Studio V is now working as one group of seven. By next Friday, our goal is to have one clear and complete design concept. Combining some of the best ideas from both designs is our next step in the design [...]
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 [...]
This is a supper busy day, we just have less than 24 hours before the small group review. In past weekend, we took a long time to talk about the suitable style roof. As we known, different people have totally different ideas about the same issue. Fortunately, we made an agreement in the last minute. [...]
