Text description provided by the architects. Originally the post office of Louvain-la-Neuve, the characteristic building housed several teaching courses for the University of Louvain until its final occupation as a ‘school for sound’. Overcompartmentalized and acoustically insulated to meet recording standards, the clarity of the architecture and the simplicity of its materials were lost. Uncovering architecture. The first task was to dismantle the building to lay it bare: salvaging the concrete that could be salvaged, restoring the original brickwork, and preserving the joinery and frames. The volumes are decompartmentalized both functionally and spatially. The exceptional height of the roof and the interplay of the beams and light falling through the glass bricks are recovered. Ground Floor PlanThe renovation strategy aims to restore the building to its pristine condition while providing it with the technology and thermal comfort needed for the next stage in its life cycle. Following our vision for renovation, we are only intervening on walls that were already modified. The east facade is the only facade that we are adapting, to increase the spatial continuity on the ground floor. Once the results of the co-creation process were validated we began exploring the spatial possibilities of ‘activity-based design’ a program is designed in the following way: Place = Function = Activity we are proposing to do away with the permanent assignment of a place to a function Functions are mobile and people move around depending on the activity they perform (and subsequently find the right place) We choose to define places throughout the building with a strong spatial character designed to accommodate an activity rather than a function You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Pharmacolog France SARL has received an order for a DrugLog™ system for placement at Clinique Saint-Pierre Ottignies (CSPO) in Belgium The system will be used for the final check of chemotherapy preparations at the hospital pharmacy CSPO offers a range of diversified care in medicine ICU and oncology specialized in hematology DrugLog™ will be used for the final control of pharmaceuticals compounded in an isolator in the clean room at the hospital pharmacy The deployment will take place in June after which CSPO can begin the quality control of both cytotoxic drugs and antibodies The order is expected to have only a minor impact on the result Pharmacolog France SARL comments: “I am pleased that Clinique Saint-Pierre Ottignies has decided to use DrugLog™ to control their chemotherapy preparations interest in Pharmacolog's products is increasing significantly among pharmacists who want to increase medication safety by supplementing quality assurance of the hospital pharmacy’s processes with quality control of the final products."

Correa was president of his Andean nation between 2007 and 2017 an Ecuadoran judge demanded he return home to face charges related to the 2012 kidnapping of an opponent and on Thursday in an interview with AFP he accused the new authorities in his homeland of “political persecution” and his successor Lenín Moreno of a plot against him Arguing that he would not be given a fair trial if he return to Ecuador Correa preempted the issuance of an arrest warrant against him by asking for asylum in Belgium One of the sources told AFP that Correa had attended an asylum hearing in late summer The 55-year-old politician would neither confirm nor deny this said the agency would not comment on individual cases but said that in Belgium an asylum request is decided on average in about three months where his wife has citizenship and where he had studied before his political career He is accused of ordering the 2012 kidnapping in the Colombian capital Bogotá of exiled former lawmaker Fernando Balda who was forced into a car by a gang intending to return him to Ecuador Proximus is to use a Walloonian town as a real-life testbed for IoT solutions The Belgian operator is working with Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve in the country’s Walloon region to develop appliocations in the security The initial focus of the partnership will be setting out a plan to overcome the hurdles that deploying a smart city will involve and developing new services These solutions will then be deployed in real-life situations [Read more: 5G is a journey requiring leaps of faith and baby steps, claims Proximus CTO] Smart lighting is the first area that is set to be explored with mobility player Be-Mobile and Belgian energy company ORES working on the project Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve has a population of over 30,000 and is located south east of Brussels said: “The choice of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve was a logical one population and ecosystem in a medium-sized town which makes it an ideal laboratory for carrying out the tests.” IT and Administrative Simplification in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve added: “The aim is to make the Smart Cities concept more tangible for the general public One could imagine a smart lighting system in public parks to increase security or a solution facilitating the management of flows and movements of crowds at events Those are just two possibilities among many; the main thing is that they meet the needs of citizens.” Proximus has been an enthusiastic proponent of LoRa IoT technology and announced in January its aims to increase its footprint across Belgium by fivefold this year. Telia has launched NB-IoT onto its network in Finland and plans to extend the technology to all of markets by the end of this year The operator has been working with the Finnish postal service by enabling connected postboxes that notifty postmen when they need to be emptied. Head of Telia Company’s IoT business said: “Many businesses across the Nordics and Baltics are looking to IoT to drive efficiency in their operations by monitoring assets or steering production processes for example and to innovate richer services for their customers enables the Internet of Things to reach massive scale which can help smart cities and smart homes develop and even track our pets and monitor our health “We are rolling out this upgrade across the Telia footprint and anticipate launching commercial services in all main markets by year end.” Rival DNA launched NB-IoT in Finland last year and now covers 85 percent of the country’s population.
