Passive solar building design

every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau sketched a design with four “fingers,” or branches, off the main spine. The branches could extend to add equipment needed to build new models. This made it possible to keep giant robots along the main line in place rather than moving them for each production change, an expensive and time-consuming process.The Leipzig plant opened in 2005. It represents Claussen’s vision of teamwork enhanced through design by Knau’s creative engineering concepts. With…
