Studio Appalachia | Overview
Studio Appalachia will focus on two projects selected to invoke a critical examination of contemporary design in the foothills region of the Blue Ridge. This blended studio will partner architecture and landscape architecture students in careful master planning and design exercises for Camp Hope in Canton, NC and for the Clemson Equine Center in Clemson, SC. The latter project will also incorporate Equine Business students as special consultants, and will draw on the expert oversight of alumnus John Blackburn, who has dedicated much of his professional career to the art and science of equestrian architecture and planning. Students on both projects will begin with a carefully orchestrated series of site visits and case studies designed for exposure to the broader ecological and cultural forces that impact design and operation in the sorts of complex settings under consideration. This will be followed by careful site analyses and master plan studies. The projects will conclude with detailed landscape and building designs, targeting elements of need as identified by the master plans. The design proposals will necessarily make reference to the evolving formal and material contexts of Southern Appalachia, including wood construction craft – from regional vernacular traditions to emerging prefabrication technologies.

CU Equine Center | Vision + History
The goal of the CUEC is to be a self-sustaining enterprise that serves as a leader in the SC horse industry. This farm aims to provide a professional image, while maintaining herd health, safety and welfare as paramount concerns. Additionally, customer service, along with student and employee safety and satisfaction is of utmost importance. The farm offers educational programs, riding teams and camps on an on-going basis. The CUEC maintains a small but high-quality breeding program; foals produced by the Center are sold through private treaty or through consignment sales. The Center also serves as a valuable resource for applied research relevant to contemporary concerns for the horse industry. The facility that is now dedicated to the CUEC began as the sheep unit, and in the mid 1970s, under the direction of Mr. Butch Kennedy, was later developed into the Equine Center. This facility housed both ovine and equine species and was managed by the Animal Science Department. In approximately 2000, all livestock facilities became centrally managed under the Research Farm Services department, and the CUEC became dedicated to horses alone. In 2009, it became managed by CAFLS and in 2016 returned to its roots within the Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department. The Equine Center has a strong tradition in producing stock horses, but was once home to an Arabian herd. 2016 marked the 40th year anniversary of annual production of American Quarter Horses, but the Center now also produces top quality hunter and sport horse and western performance/reining offspring. Today, the CUEC maintains a variety of breeds for teaching, outreach and research purposes, and owns or leases approximately 55 to 60 horses‌. Leased horses are primarily used to support the riding program for the IHSA and IEA equestrian teams. 11

CU Equine Center | Context E x isting CU EC Pro per t y a n d F a c i l i t i e s
The Clemson University Equine Center is located on 85-acres of rolling pastureland adjacent to the T. Ed Garrison Arena and only 5-minutes to the main Clemson University Campus. This teaching and research center houses approximately 55 to 60 horses that are mostly Quarter Horses, Paints, Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods and crosses. There are four riding areas located at the CUEC: 1. The sand ring serves as the western ISHA training ring and is used for the CLEAT therapeutic riding program. 2. The top sand arena adjacent to the formal sand riding ring makes an excellent staging area for horses during events and shows. It is used for trail courses or other exercises, and houses our round pen. 3. The rock dust footed ring adjacent to the boarding barn and ponds is used for the IHSA hunter team and IEA team. 4. The grass jumping field between the hunter ring and ponds makes a wonderful training area to jump outside of an arena setting, take your horse on light hills or cool down after a training ride. Three barns have distinct purposes at the CUEC. All stalls are fully matted and vary in size to meet the needs of its resident horses. 1. The large main barn houses 18 stalls and is used to house our riding team horses, along with the riding teams’ tack room, two wash racks, the farm’s main office, a laboratory and breeding shed. 2. The “Old Barn” was the first barn constructed at the facility now known as the CUEC. It was originally built to house sheep and has been retrofitted to house our classroom, four foaling stalls equipped with wifi cameras, four run-in stalls, a large tack room, and tie stalls and wash rack. 3. The boarding barn is the newest addition to our facility, and houses six well-constructed stalls, a wash rack, and tack room. There are approximately 75 acres of pastures and individual paddocks to meet the many demands of the resident herd at the CU Equine Center. Pastures are fenced in 2” x 4” woven wire fencing with sight board and wooden posts. Several board-fenced dry lot paddocks exist for short-term turnout. Some of our horses prefer to be housed on pasture 24-hours a day and are provided shelters for protection. Horses are maintained within cohort groups for more intensive management.

CU Equine Center | Part 1 - Masterplan
Working in interdisciplinary groups of 3 to 4 students (plus 1 to 2 Equine Business student-consultants), teams will begin with a master planning exercise. This will involve close observation of the CUEC and its operations, as well as thorough analysis of its current facilities and pastures. Students will find that the CUEC has grown physically over the years without a clear, guiding plan. This has led to a lack of cohesion on its campus and contributed to various imbedded inefficiencies. Under its current strong leadership, and with the growing success of its programs, including the riding teams, the Center finds itself looking to the future and setting a course for strategic growth. It will be our role, as a Studio, to provide a set of master plan proposals that offer a clear and compelling way forward – one that maximizes the Center’s current resources and gives a vision for future additions. In the analysis phases, teams will want to pay special attention to the conditions of the existing facilities and campus. This will include the health and wellbeing of the horses – from barn ventilation and daylighting to stall space and daily circulation paths. This will also include the efficiency of day-to-day CUEC operations – from veterinary visits, to feeding times, exercise regimens, research work, on-site classes, therapeutic riding programs, etc. Finally, teams will be attentive to facility and landscape needs that are not currently met at the CUEC. What are the vision and longterm goals for the Center? What renovations and new additions will enable the Center to flourish and grow? In what order should these interventions be staged? How do these changes positively impact the surrounding community economically and ecologically?

CU Equine Center | Part 2 - New Interventions
Following from the master planning exercise, design teams will select key landscape and building interventions on which to focus. Students will work individually on these designs, but must maintain a productive and critical dialog with their teams in order to provide a cohesive set of proposals. It will be as though the various interventions come from different individuals working in the same office. Each intervention must clearly and skillfully address the concerns and larger concepts identified in the earlier master plans, responding again to the specific needs of the horses, as well as the staff, students and visitors. As each proposal develops, students will address structural and material strategies that best support their stated objectives. This is an opportunity for innovation, while also demanding attention to regional material culture, economics, construction logistics, and longterm performance. Given the interdisciplinary organization of the Studio, particular emphasis will also be placed on the thoughtful integration of buildings and the landscape. The individual interventions will be documented and presented as a set in reference to each of the preceding group master plans.

Team 1 | Revive The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a plan to revive the Clemson equine experience. By creating a sense of place unique to the Clemson farm (as more than a farm, but also an institution), the master plan showcases the prestige of the equine educational program, and embodies the history, strength, and energy that the program was founded on. The main goals defined for the project were education, revenue, safety, efficiency, and engagement. “Revive� is a master plan concept that focuses on ease and efficiency for tasks that occur on a working farm, and also on enhancing the visitor experience.

Team 3 | Connections The masterplan proposal includes a new covered arena connected to parking by way of a bridge. Two new kiosks and the bridge over the horse circulation path will provide an opportunity for visitors to catch their first glimpses of the farm. The bridge creates a physical manifistation of the concept of ‘connection’ for the site. Through comprehensive grading design and simple visual planting desing, the landscape performs multiple functions in order to create a sustainable site strategy.

Camp Hope Canton, North Carolina

Camp Hope | Vision + History Camp Hope history as told on the Town of Canton’s Camp Hope webpage:
The Town of Canton’s “Camp Hope” property (used for over 93 years by various civic, youth and recreational organizations) is open and available to the public for use year round. This parcel of land is tucked away in the majestic mountains of Canton and Haywood County and is located at 312 Camp Hope Road in Canton, NC. Camp Hope Road and “Camp Hope” are located off of US-276 and adjacent to the Pigeon River. The property, known and referred to as “Camp Hope” was originally purchased by Reuben B. Robertson, President of the Champion Fibre Company. Mr. Robertson agreed to purchase the land and donate it for a camp if the people of Canton and surrounding vicinity would build a club house. In 1920, shortly after the above mentioned club house was constructed, Champion Fibre Company sold (donated) the camp property to the Champion “Y” or Champion Young Men’s Christian Association, recently established by Mr. Robertson. It was at this time the camp property was given the name by which it still goes by today, that of “Camp Hope”, named after Mr. Robertson’s wife, Hope. Following this for nearly 43 years the Champion “Y” was the owner and the organization charged with the supervision of the camp property before changing its name to the “Robertson Memorial Young Men’s Christian Association” in 1963. In 1992 after the Robertson Memorial YMCA officially disbanded, the “Camp Hope” property was deeded to the Town of Canton. From 1992 until 2005 the Town of Canton continued to make the “Camp Hope” property available for use by the citizens of Canton and Haywood County. It was also leased and utilized by the Pisgah Council of the Boy Scouts until 1994. While still under the control of the Town of Canton, in 2005 Wellspring Adventure Camp began utilizing a portion of the “Camp Hope” property for their summer program. Regretfully, Wellsprings Adventure Camp only recently vacated the “Camp Hope” property in 2013. Their departure was largely due to a lawsuit filed against the Town of Canton by a private individual contesting the Town of Canton’s ownership of the “Camp Hope” property. While this “Camp Hope” property has served as a homestead for a variety of civic and community/ recreation focused organizations this property has always been and remains available for use by anyone from Canton and/or Haywood County. This property and its facilities are regularly used/ reserved for weddings, wedding receptions, family reunions, birthday parties, corporate events, youth recreational activities, and Boy/Girl Scout camps/training alike. Additionally, the stream at Camp Hope has been open and available for fisherman to enjoy and partake in the immense natural resources present along the property.

Camp Hope | Context Existing Camp Hope Property and Facilities
Recently the Camp Hope property came under dispute, with claims to the property made by a neighboring landowner. The property was eventually divided. Much of the wooded hillside east of the camp’s loop road was awarded to the neighboring party. However, the remaining 30+ acres between this east edge and the Pigeon River to the west, was retained by Camp Hope. This is fitting, as this is the portion that contains all of the most important and recognizable elements of the camp, including the:
• • • • • • • • • •
iconic lodge building assortment of cabins (8 total) camp admin / health clinic building bathhouse large south field (bounded by the loop road) – includes baseball diamond, and basketball and tennis courts small north meadow Pigeon River access tent camping platforms and associated grill structures fire circle caretaker’s cottage

Camp Hope | Part 1 - Masterplan
Working in interdisciplinary groups of 3 to 4 students, teams will begin with a master planning exercise. This will involve close inspection of the camp’s grounds and existing structures. Students will find that there are various immediate needs (including restrooms and accessibility at the lodge) as well as other long-term opportunities. Students will also find that the camp’s growth over time has been piecemeal, lacking a cohesive vision and strategy, and not taking full advantage of its own assets. With the camp’s remaining property secure, it is time to look ahead, and the Town of Canton and the Camp Hope Commission have come to us for guidance. It will be our role, as a Studio, to provide a set of master plan proposals that offer a clear and compelling way forward – one that maximizes the camp’s current resources and gives a vision for future additions and changes. In the analysis phases, teams will want to work with town and Commission representatives to identify creative, promising, and profitable programming ideas. How would the programming and camp usage unfold over the calendar year? Which uses can be paired / overlapped, and which uses are exclusive? Teams will also need to pay special attention to the conditions of the existing facilities and grounds. How are these supportive or unsupportive of the potential programs being targeted? What modifications or additions need to be made to fully realize the camp’s potential? What sort of phasing makes sense for these developments?
107
