gateway park
Academicgateway park studio consisted of roughly 30 students working over the course of a semester to develop a master plan and implement two installations into a new park being built by the city of Clemson. this park acts as a gateway between the university the city, hence the name. the installations each consist of a volume representative of 1/1000th the fill taken from the dredging of nearby Abernathy park and infilled on the site to create the park. this volume was then the basis for the investigation of several different design strategies based on the installations’ function within the park. the two implemented volumes served as a bridge entry in the south of the park, and a seating area along the walking paths in the park.
