DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today much of the studio worked on mocking up castor systems, finalizing CAD construction drawings, and cutting steel. Since we are all split up and working on different things it is very apparent that everyone has been really pushing themselves. My main focus today was finalizing the construction documents for the reception desk as well [...]
Today was a fun day for me because I got to finally get away from a computer and go out and put my hands on some tools. We were able to finally get out to Redux and cut the scores in the concrete for the track systems to sit in. We managed to get all [...]
May 1st comes in only 4 weeks and we are still progressing with final details on both the bar and reception pieces, as well as the moving walls. Some materials are set to arrive before the end of the week, and it will take more than just a regular student's' life to complete the task [...]
This weekend was the first of what I expect to be many long ones. We met up at 8 o'clock in the morning to learn how to cut, grind, and weld the metal that we'll be working with. This is important for things such as the caster system for the desk and bar and the [...]
Typically in Architecture (mostly in Academia) they way to get you idea across into a physical form is in the form of a model. We made a model and for more intensive purposes we call it a mock because it is at full scale. It is the same idea as a square can be a [...]
Over the past few days we have been validating where the steel angle braces will be placed in the gallery space. We have to keep in mind lighting, plumbing, and duct work as they are suspended from the ceiling as well. We have come to conclusions on the angle bracing size, and have confirmed positions [...]
This past week much of the studio started to make scale models of the reception desk, bar, castor systems, and wall details. By working fluidly between models, drawings, and computer renderings we can more easily figure out dimensions and the way things actually go together. I personally am working on finishing a full scale model of [...]
We have dedicated a lot of time to figuring how how we could guide these walls along the floor successfully. We thought about different materials like plastic, metal and wood. We had ideas about flanged wheels that could ride in a groove of some sort. There was also the idea that we could cut a [...]
The next phase of the project has begun. After a week off, Studio V is back and ready to tackle the varying design solutions for the Redux’s new home at 1056 King Street. We are taking this week to finalize some dimensions, create some mockups, and lay out our plan for the coming weeks. Some [...]
We are so unbelievably close to start building. All we need to do is finalize a few of the designs, including the system that allows the wheels to lift up on the reception desk and the bar. This will allow for diverse positions when it is needed and stability when it is in use. Some of [...]
