DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Final Review-As Nicole posted, we had our final review on Monday. Everyone worried about the weather that day morning, however, the weather had miraculously turned fine in the afternoon. The logo, which designed by Professor Pastre’s wife, Amy, makes the whole shed cute and shiny with recognition. Review went through fairly smoothly and easily. People [...]
Studio V has almost finished our GAP shed. Since Friday, the shed has gained a lot of color! As you can see in the photos, we have finished building the roof, railings, counters, sinks, step, and cool room door. We also installed the Air conditioning Unit and the Coolbot. The bright aesthetic of the green [...]
We worked on foundations for a long time and figured out a bunch of challenges during the process. Last semester, we had a class named assemblies and materials which was taught by Prof Harding. One of the assignments was making a foundation. At that time, I was surprised it a lot, why we need to [...]
Steel Plate-Finally I finish my drilling hole misson! My name maybe changed to ARMstrong right now after doing 2-day metal work. So does dear Professor Pastre think.

Nicole, Ashley, and I have been working mainly on the structure of the revit file, whereas the others have been more focused on the sinks, cooler, drainage, and sliding panel system. This weekend we spent a lot [...]

As Studio V works through the construction documents, we are discovering how much ambiguity existed in our conceptual design. We presented basic ideas of assembly during the conceptual design phase, but we are now asking very specific questions about this assembly. How exactly is the roof beam supported by the wall? How will an insulated [...]
