CLEMSON UNIVERSITY
CLEMSON ARCHITECTURE CENTER IN CHARLESTON
FALL 2008
COLLABORATIVE STUDIO PROJECT WITH 13 CAC.C STUDENTS
LOCATION: NORTH CHARLESTON, SC
Designing an intermodal facility for the city of North Charleston, SC meant examining the importance of civic architecture for a city looking to create its own identity. This design studio was tasked with designing the master plan for the North Charleston Regional Intermodal Center. The facility is to service as both a transit hub and city center, providing housing, office, and retail opportunities to the residents and commuters of the greater Charleston region. Our studio met with the City of North Charleston to determine the program and design goals of the facility, them completed extensive site studies and precedent analysis to drive the design process. We then outlined a set of design principles based off of our research, which we used to design three master plans.
