After our last meeting Friday we thought we were going to have the construction documents ready to turn in by the end of class Monday, however, we needed a little more time. Once we fixed the redlines we received on Friday, we realized there is still work to be done before we turn them into [...]

Lets Go Racing!!
It seems fitting that exactly one day after the 2015 Daytona 500, the studio V group is racing against the clock to finish Crop Stop 2 construction documentation. By the end of the week, the group will have to finish up CD’s review and redline them, as well as make corrections and send them out [...]
Crop Stop 1 vs. Crop Stop 2 vs. Crop Stop 3,4,5…
As you've been able read about the progress we have made in furthering the design of Crop Stop 2 and the choices we are making for materials, we are having to do a little bit of a juggling act.

Post Review
After our review Monday, we got a lot of positive feedback and also found plenty of things we need to put more work into. We've narrowed our materials down for the exterior, interior, and roof.

Framing a View
While half of the studio has been building the freezer door, as talked about in the last post, the other half of us (aka the girls) have started work on the casing for the windows of Crop Stop 1. First, taking dimensions of all the window and door openings, and then sorting through the wood [...]
Looking Back to Move Forward
As designers, usually starting a project means looking at some precedents. That is, researching how the problem you have been presented with has been solved in the past, and critically evaluating the various solutions. This healthy exercise can give you perspective, knowledge, and even inspiration on how to discover the project's identity. This semesters' project [...]
