T-2

Yesterday, Enough Pie visited us at the wood shop to see how the construction documents were coming. In addition to the construction documents, we also presented the mock ups of the trailer details we had shown. Our papers are now completely covered in red, and we will be working to fix them for Friday when Kevan Hoertdoerfer stops [...]

THE ROAD TO CONSTRUCTION

Today we will meet with Enough Pie and Architect Kevan Hoertdoerfer to show them the mock ups and construction documents we’ve been working hard on for the past week. We’ll be able to show them at a smaller scale how things connect and how they will open & close. This is a great opportunity for [...]

Down To The Wire

Finalizing our plans and details is what Studio V is up to. We have been working on our construction documents for the past week and after knocking out all the necessary details Tuesday night, down to the exact measurements of the materials needed, we are about ready to start fabricating! As it has been said, [...]

Beginning Detail Mock-Ups

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 [...]

Hammering and Helpful Advice

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.

Tough Turnaround

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 [...]

Executing The Details

As a 7 member team, we are all hands on deck as we finalize the Indigo Vat Shack designs. After much hard work and collaboration, we have finished up the layout of the Vat Shack. Our main design concept is a system of layers. This concept will help inform us in figuring out the details, such [...]

PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE

  Having 7 individuals with different design mentalities converge as one to form a large group after working in small groups is tough task. But after working in small groups having all 7 of us together will equal an exciting design phase as we normally don’t work in groups of more than 4 people. As [...]

Preparations Abound

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 [...]

First Client Review

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 [...]
