EMILY PORTERCLEMSON UNIVERISTY

This project was located in Columbia, SC in an area called the vista. It involved creating a masterplan of the existing site that revived the unused railroad tunnel into a area that invited bicyclists and people wanting to have an active lifestyle in the city. Part of the masterplanning involved creating a bicycle hub that allowed people to rent bicycles for trips around town or store their back there. The following pages showcase the bicycle hub. The design of the bicycle hub was very simple like the bicyle, and the structure was what made the building beautiful. The design was also influenced by the railroad.

This project was to create a headquarters for a bicycle sharing system in downtown Clemson that would also serve as a short term boarding school for students interest-ed in learning the mechanics and skill of bicycle building. The design of this build-ing was driven by the structure of the bicycle. The structure is visible on the outside creating a simple design, mimicking the bicycle. This design was also driven by the idea of voids and solids. The front facade was creating with several series of curtain walls that allows the passerby to see into the building in several locations.
