Mosewich House by D’Arcy Jones Design
Via Scoop.it - Top CAD Experts updates
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...

Used Electric Car Batteries Could Be Crucial In Future Energy Storage | PSFK
Via Scoop.it - Top CAD Experts updates
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]

STAMPING OUT A NEW GENERATION OF AUTOMOBILE PARTS …
Via Scoop.it - Top CAD Experts updates
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.
