This functional and inviting family house is perched on the edge of a steep slope in a suburban setting. Existing ponderosa pines, bunch-grass and sagebrush were carefully preserved by siting the house away from the street. A private, sunny courtyard merges the kitchen and dining areas with the landscape. Intimate views of vegetation and exposed rock are a welcome contrast to long views towards the river valley below. A robust, dark tinted stucco mass anchors the house to the ground, morphing as one continuous mass to create courtyard walls, terraces, fireplace chimneys and structural shear-walls. Opposite, yet never quite touching, is a muted stucco mass bending and wrapping asymmetrically to frame dramatic views. Interior spaces are defined by modulating the voids between these two contrasting stucco masses. When these stucco masses extend inside the house, the threshold is defined with floor-to-ceiling glass, translucent in some locations for privacy. Deep cantilevered overhangs provide both shade and upper level rock gardens. Carefully located operable windows provide effective cross-ventilation, eliminating reliance on air-conditioning...

Nissan North America, ABB, 4R Energy and Sumitomo Corporation of America have formed a partnership to evaluate whether used electric car batteries could provide residential and commercial energy storage solutions and back-up power sources, making electric vehicles even more sustainable. Their aim is to develop a prototype to effectively reuse lithium-ion batteries taken from the Nissan LEAF. As electric vehicle batteries have up to 70% capacity remaining after 10 years of use, they can be used beyond the lifetime of the vehicle for other applications. The companies are going to test their use in smart-grid energy management systems and battery energy storage... [Click post title to read full article]

The world’s first crossbar transfer press by Schuler AG (Göppingen, Germany) revolutionized stamping plants throughout the auto industry in the early 1990s. Today’s compact crossbar transfer press, however, is used not only for large unstable body panels, but also for two-out production of mid-sized parts such as doors and engine hoods.

3D Printers can redefine the printing technology. 3D printers are also sometimes referred as rapid prototypes that build objects using specks of liquid or powdered plastic with hours. The materials used to print these 3D objects are right now companies own secret recipes-a unique concoction not used anywhere else. It is a form of additive manufacturing Technology where a three-dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers. The scanner scans every possible edge of the object into the computer, creating an image that will be sent to the printer.

What can you accomplish in 360 hours? The Chinese sustainable building company, Broad Group, has yet attempted another impossible feat, building a 30-story tall hotel prototype in 360 hours, after building a 15-story building in a week earlier in 2011. You may ask why in a hurry, and is it safe? The statistics in the video can put you in good faith. Prefabricated modular buildings has many advantages over conventional buildings. Higher precision in fabrication (+/- 0.2mm). More coordinated on-site construction management. Shorter construction time span. Lower construction waste. Also many other health and energy features are included in Broad Sustainable Buildings (BSB) The building was built over last Christmas time and finished before New Years Eve of 2012.
