DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
The sun was out on Friday, and it was by far one of the most beautiful days that Studio V has experienced since we have been in Charleston. We had a few things on the agenda for this Good Friday. For one, we talked about the logo that was painted onto Crop Stop 1 late [...]
After multiple preliminary red lines from our professors and others around the project, we have finally got our construction documents to level that we need to send them to the engineer. Now that they have been sent off, we will wait on the engineer to approve or deny the proposal and make the necessary changes [...]
The race to finish the Construction set is almost over, and all of our hard work will have paid off. The Construction Documents have been redlined for the last time! Finishing touches are being made to the drawings, and they are being corrected at this very moment. The Construction set will be sent out any [...]
As you know, we have been hard at work on our construction document set for Crop Stop 2 that will hopefully be sent to the engineer by tomorrow. Through this trial and error process, we have definitely learned a tremendous amount. Everyone in Studio V this semester is in undergrad, and none of us have [...]
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 [...]
This weekend was a busy weekend! We were all working on the redlines received on friday to complete them by today so that we could turn them into the engineer. We had thought that after redlining we would only have a few minor changes to make, we were wrong. We started out making a template [...]

What a weekend!! Though a tiring weekend, it was so much fun meeting the Solar D team and starting the mock-up construction of Cropstop 2 with the sim[ply] construction method. During the construction we took notes on improvements that can be made for the future Cropstops. The Solar D team also took notes on how [...]
This weekend, our studio along with some of the group members from the Clemson's Solar Decathlon team, worked on constructing the kitchen structure for the Crop Stop 2 project. With a total of 18 hours of daylight, we worked intensively collaborating between three groups. A group of graduate students were giving instructions, noting changes and [...]
