DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Yesterday, Enough Pie visited us at the wood shop to see how the construction documents were coming. In addition to the construction documents, we also presented the mock ups of the trailer details we had shown. Our papers are now completely covered in red, and we will be working to fix them for Friday when Kevan Hoertdoerfer stops [...]
Today we will meet with Enough Pie and Architect Kevan Hoertdoerfer to show them the mock ups and construction documents we’ve been working hard on for the past week. We’ll be able to show them at a smaller scale how things connect and how they will open & close. This is a great opportunity for [...]
Finalizing our plans and details is what Studio V is up to. We have been working on our construction documents for the past week and after knocking out all the necessary details Tuesday night, down to the exact measurements of the materials needed, we are about ready to start fabricating!

On Friday we met with structural engineer John Moore of 4SE, Inc. to get feedback on the details and framing we have come up with for the Vat Shack as well as the structure of the trailer we will be using to build the shack on. We got some very good criticism from Mr. Moore [...]
Today and tonight we'll be working hard to get our presentation ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the final client review before construction. We've been working hard figuring out joints and the layers of our project, to meet the client's needs brought up in the last review last week. We've been working on a site plan [...]
As a 7 member team, we are all hands on deck as we finalize the Indigo Vat Shack designs. After much hard work and collaboration, we have finished up the layout of the Vat Shack. Our main design concept is a system of layers. This concept will help inform us in figuring out the details, such [...]
Having 7 individuals with different design mentalities converge as one to form a large group after working in small groups is tough task. But after working in small groups having all 7 of us together will equal an exciting design phase as we normally don’t work in groups of more than 4 people. As [...]
