DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Our new home, the workshop. Yesterday in studio, we talked about the details we worked on the night before. We sat down with Professor Pastre and discussed what was working and what needed to be changed. Through talking it out with Professor Pastre, we were able to find potential complications with our designs, but at [...]
Yesterday was the beginning of our work on the physical Indigo Vat Shack. Studio will now take place at the wood shop rather than the Clemson Architecture Center in Charleston in order to have our trailer nearby while we finish work on the details of the shack and begin the long task of construction documents. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Inspired by South Carolina's historic production of indigo, which was once upon a time one of our great state's biggest exports, artists in Charleston have taken to creating art with this lovely bluish-purple plant. Here at the CAC.C, Studio V had a busy start this semester [...]
Our last day at the shop consisted of cleaning up the shop inside and out. There has been plenty a day when we had decided not to clean up the shop, especially in the late nights that we accumulated in the last couple of weeks. I have had a wonderful semester with the team down [...]
I just said awesome! Upon completing final Documentation tomorrow Studio V and our time at the CAC.C will be complete! It has been a long ride but an unforgettable experience. Not only have I learned about practicing architecture, a new construction method that I never thought possible [Sim]ply, or the process [...]
There couldn't have been better timing. Right as the semester is winding down and finals are taking place, we are reminded of all of our hard work over this semester, and it couldn't have happened on a more perfect day. Yesterday was Studio V's final presentation of the work that we have done throughout the [...]
With our Mock Up Review under our belt, we had to start thinking about our up coming trip to Clemson. On the 24th of this month we are heading to Clemson for the Solar D Gala. The reason our upcoming trip is a real concern of ours is because we are having to move the [...]
