CIVIC SHEDS X 2

Work on the Civic Sheds project has continued through the spring. It was presented for a poster session at the 2023 Clemson University Research Symposium on 10 May. The notion of Design as Research is one that is evolving and generally recognized as a distinct method of research but colleagues in STEM fields doing “hard research” still have to work a bit to get their heads around our approach. Nonetheless, it was an honor to have the poster accepted for inclusion.

And yesterday I presented the project at the May Section meeting of AIA Asheville. Which, I realized driving up to Asheville from Six Mile, marked a kind of closure of a big meandering loop. I transferred my affiliation from the AIA Chicago to AIA Asheville when I came down, but I’d not been up in front of the section before. From sweeping floors at Six Associates at seventeen to presenting Civic Sheds.
