DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
We can check off the first week of Studio V in Charleston! We have been busy installing FRP and painting the interior of the original Cropstop on Johns Island. The installation of the FRP went much smoother after we got the hang of cutting it. Finally after getting all the pieces cut we used our [...]
3D model in Revit Elevations of each wall Separately from the Mystery Mockup, but still very much connected to it in the methodology, is the full spectrum of the interior to the Solar Decathlon cabinetry. While the mockup was altered slightly to test every element of the cabinets that needed to be tested, the full [...]
The studio was once again split up into smaller teams to finish us the semester. A small group of the Crop Stop team went to Greenville to finishing up the build. The remainder of the studio stayed in Charleston, one half doing construction drawings and worked on the mock up, and the other half hashing out [...]
As you know our studio is working on finishing up the porch portion of the Crop Stop, as well as getting the cabinetry for the Solar D up and running. In order to complete the Crop Stop a few things are happening, first up in Greenville some extra site excavation is being coordinated in order [...]

The simultaneous development between the Crop Stop and the Decathlon cabinetry is crucial at this stage, since we are working up to our porch build in Greenville next week, and the Cabinet mock up in the weeks that follow that. The cabinetry design [...]
There is that one house down the street. You know - the one that you drive by every morning, and think "what the heck happened there?" or "What were they thinking?!" The truth is, we all have opinions on what is good design, or bad design. Even if you're not a designer, you observe things every [...]
This past weekend was apparently prime travel time for a good chunk of the CACC. Both Studio U and Studio V professors were off conferencing in Nova Scotia. Two members of Studio V attended two different weddings. (Oh Fall, when love and allergies are in the air!) And three members of the studio, myself included, headed [...]
