The Blur Building is an architecture of atmosphere – a fog mass resulting from natural and manmade forces the project is conceived as a multimedia pavilion for Expo 2002 in Switzerland with the objective of taking visitors into an immersive environment that questions their dependence on vision itself The disk-shaped structure is supported by four columns and is based on the principle of tensegrity which consists in balancing a group of compressed metallic profiles within a grid of taut cables Water is pumped from the lake and shot as a fine mist through 35,000 high-pressure nozzles A smart weather system reads the shifting climatic conditions of temperature and regulates water pressure at a variety of zones There is only an optical “white-out” and the “white-noise” of pulsing nozzles complemented by an acoustic project by Swiss artist Christian Marclay Two footbridges formed by prefab metallic sections connect the lake shore with the pavilion gradually spanning the difference in height Ricardo Scofidio (socios partners); Dirk Hebel Eric Bunge (dirección de proyecto project lead); Charles Renfro there arent any match using your search terms When heritage and contemporary architecture interact the new gymnasium at Pestalozzi Street has its main facade; this confrontation creates a new dynamic space and showcases both the old as the new building town The layout of the building is simple and respects both urban constraints as the original site of the old gym The building displays its main face to the parking on the side of the castle facade It is on this front that are moving the three gyms The building consists of two volumes with very different architectural character value functions It consists of two parts that are home to the three gyms the structural character is underlined by slanted columns in front Above it is a volume in the fluid volume which houses the large gym south side houses the changing rooms spaces parallelepipeds concrete are connected by an open space that protects the hall the reception area and corridors The part housing gyms comprises the ground floor peripheral structure of concrete poles tilted and a central concrete core housing sanitary and storage rooms equipment This structure supports a concrete slab forming the floor of the stage A curtain wall glass interrupts this volume to create a large facade bathed in natural light from the south This grand facade is naturally protected by vertical wooden venetian blind In terms of energy as the building is very effective with the double choice of orientation and construction materials The building allows its direction of maximum use of natural light and thus allow energy while a large economy throughout the year Design: Amat & Saint-Val Architectes Activate the Wp-related-posts plugin to see the related post list!

provided him with clean dry clothes; and acted as translator for officials There was no team tent to welcome Israel Hilario He waited in the rain on a public bench to find out if he would be called for an anti-doping test Hilario is his country’s only representative on the international para-cycling circuit and Sandra Hilario is his massage therapist She just draws the line at the title of “mechanic.” Hilario currently wears the leader’s jersey of the 2015 UCI Para-cycling Road World Cup after victories in the C2 road races of the opening two rounds in Maniago, Italy He also finished sixth and third in the two time trials despite the fact that he has never owned a time trial bike Israel Hilario is making enormous progress He likes to think that his good results since 2012 are bearing fruit in his country as the Peruvian Government is now starting to invest money in Paralympic competitors “We have the capacity to compete at international level but we need to change mentalities,” Hilario said “Peruvian society is not as advanced as many when it comes to people with (disabilities) A person with a (disability) does not have a future he sends a small article and photo to the local newspaper in a bid to give the sport more exposure and change attitudes in his country “People can read in the newspaper that someone with a disability has won an international race and this is particularly important to motivate young people,” Hilario said He added that the mentalities of athletes from some of para-cycling’s leading nations are also changing "Other countries are starting to realise that people from poor countries can perform,” Hilario said I train and train every day with conventional cyclists and that helps me progress.” Never has Hilario been so competitive on the international scene With the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships (28 July – 2 August) looming in Nottwil he will not be drawn into public declarations about his objectives I want to be well and I want to have good bikes Following the Road World Championships, Hilaro also plans to race in the upcoming Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games three universities from French-speaking Switzerland - EPFL HEIA-FR and HEIG-VD - will co-host the sixth annual HydroContest competition challenging student teams to come up with fast Around a dozen teams from six European countries are gearing up to compete in the sixth annual HydroContest which will be held on Lake Neuchâtel in Yverdon-les-Bains this year from 1 to 8 September This year's contest is more specifically called HydroContest-X because it is being organized jointly by three universities in French-speaking Switzerland: EPFL the Fribourg School of Engineering and Architecture (HEIA-FR) and the Vaud School of Management and Engineering (HEIG-VD) which is supported every year by the Hydros Foundation build and race the most energy-efficient boats possible The event is free of charge and open to the public remote-controlled boats to compete in two contest categories like Laurel and Hardy - one for thin and light boats where the aim is to sail fast and far; the other for bigger and heavier ones which must haul 200 kg of cargo to simulate a freight vessel Boats in both categories run on batteries provided by the organizer The event aims to not only enhance students' education but also build awareness about the need for cleaner more energy-efficient shipping vessels and spark ideas for technology in this area EPFL students have participated in the contest every year since it was launched And this year's team will show up in Yverdon-les-Bains with not two Two of them are from last year's HydroContest which competed in the Mass Transport category is a hybrid between a catamaran and an airboat that sails on a thin cushion of air It won the innovation prize last year but was eliminated during the quarterfinals which competed in the Private Boats category This boat proved to be fast but fairly unstable; it came in second place last year behind HEIA-FR The third boat - new this year - is designed after a prao It has only one hull and one lateral float yet it still needs to be tweaked," says Sébastien Jaffaux "So at this point it's too early to enter it in the race But the students have big plans for next year they will use their prototypes as test platforms for the 2020 Monaco Solar & Energy Boat Challenge The boats in that event - another international competition - will measure over six meters long and have a sailor on board.
