DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today we're taking a field trip to Savannah, Georgia. However, it's not for the Vat Shack project. It's for Jim Thomas's History of Place class. The field trip will take all day so our studio class for today is cancelled. I think we are all excited about this trip and are looking forward to exploring the [...]
After an enlightening academic review with our professor David Pastre and Studio U's professor Ray Huff, each of the 3 groups will move forward in perfecting their designs. Each of the 3 designs offer a unique experience as well as different solutions to the issues the Indigo Vat Shack faces. The biggest critique in our [...]
It is currently one in the morning and Studio V is preparing for our academic review with Professors Pastre and Huff. The concentration on the faces here at the CAC.C are pretty laughable at the moment, but that could just be my lack of sleep seeping out. We have the beginnings of models, CAD and Rhino [...]
Our second review is tomorrow and we are in design mode as we work to hone our ideas and have them be more concrete and pragmatic. Before, we were in the beginning stages and weren’t really focused on the small details, but we are now at the stage where we need to be as detailed [...]
We had our first of three client design reviews today, and it looks like a great start to furthering our designs. Enough Pie and Kevan Hoertdoerfer joined us to provide excellent feedback on how to improve our designs for the next step in the design process. We began by pinning up our boards, and all seven of us told [...]
Right now in the designing of the Indigo Vat Shack, we are all working hard to create as many ideas as possible. We are sketching and researching ways the shack can expand, collapse, open and unfold. Though many of the ideas we may come up with are implausible for our type of project, they can [...]
The studio is on it way to being filled with plenty of designs and inspiration for the Indigo Vat Shack. The walls are no longer just white as we pinned up for the desk crit with Professor Pastre yesterday. The individual design process will continue as we keep pouring out as many ideas as possible [...]
Now that we are done with the research phase, it is time to begin the design process. We have begun to design our own versions of the Mobile Vat Shack. Within the design phase we will take all the research we’ve gathered and apply them to our designs to get the best possible outcome for [...]
Studio V has been working hard, researching all aspects of our Mobile Vat Shack. This has been a short, yet important and necessary stage of the project. Before the design stage, one must fully understand all features of what you will be dealing with. As a group we have separated all of our information into [...]
Yesterday afternoon our studio had the chance to meet with a handful of talented, local indigo artists who taught us about the indigo dyeing process, some ancient techniques that were used, and how they typically use indigo in their everyday work. We also had a couple directors from the non-profit organization, Enough Pie, sit in [...]
