Text description provided by the architects. Located on the Landes de Juzan campus in Anglet, the Activity Generator proposed by the Côte-Basque-Adour Agglomeration is a place where innovative young companies can be found, encouraging interdisciplinary cross-fertilization between academic research and industrial knowledge. This business hotel is set in an urban wasteland, open on a wood and a protected estey in the heart of the Basque coast Adour. The building is a reflection of the dialogue between this landscaped site and the program. Site PlanTo answer the environmental challenges of the program: dual certification and the BEPOS objective, the idea is to make architecture the vector of these performances, playing with the assets of the context and appealing to the common sense of the users. © Vincent Monthiers Creating an interior landscape built in echo to the natural landscape, the building is manifested in its implementation by making perceptible the structural forces, the innervating networks and the envelope of the building as architectural elements in full participating in the Identity of the place. The atmospheres are qualified by precise assemblages of raw and durable materials such as concrete, wood and metal, providing a sensitive touch at the spaces. © Vincent MonthiersThe architecture of the generator is revealed with subtlety in order to create, at the heart of the effervescence of the agglomeration, a privileged environment, calm and conducive to work, a way to inhabit this place. The limits between the exterior and the interior are intentionally blurred in order to benefit from the vitality of the environment, with the concern to integrate in the heart of the building the presence of natural light and its variations. © Vincent MonthiersIn the West side, in an urban connection, the experimental hall exposes itself in a panorama on Mirambeau street, by a large horizontal incise, as a signal announcing the research and development work housed in the generator. © Vincent MonthiersTo the east, echoing the landscape of the Estey, the facade of the offices opens generously on nature. External walkways let you enjoy the softness of the site and encourage informal meetings by extending outside the workspaces. At the heart of the generator, the bioclimatic atrium brings together these workspaces as a forum open to debates of ideas. SectionIt also gathers the vertical and horizontal circulations treated in rhythmical route, revealing the activities, letting enjoy natural light and offering framing on the trees landscape. Each one is no longer the inhabitant of a floor, an office, but a place of work in which are shared knowledge, tools, dedicated spaces and services. Evolutive, the building is designed to shape, adapt to the demand, suspended to future societal, technical and energy evolutions. Leaning on the structure as a pivot, the envelope is an interchangeable and recyclable skin. The interior is designed as flexible and reversible, it remains ductile to the uses. The generator will live at the tempo of the young companies that will invest it, appropriating it and making it evolve. © Vincent MonthiersProduct Description: -A structural logic inseparable from architecture: The innovative companies hotel is based on three interacting strata that make up its structural architecture. The cascading earthworks anchor the building in the site. The reinforced concrete structures partition the plateaus of the terraces and initiate the verticalities, in an atmosphere of mineral landscape. © Vincent MonthiersThe structure adapted to spaces: The main structure in reinforced concrete is designed without the fall of a beam, by a principle of posts / slabs "mushroom" favoring the modularity of the partitioning. Exposed in raw way, sails and concrete floors participate in the passive design of the building by their large capacity of inertia. The structure and framework of the technichal hall (volume without intermediate support point) are composed of glued laminated pine douglas elements and metal connectors. © Vincent MonthiersAn efficient envelope: This structure is protected by a technical wrap adapted to the uses and orientations This wrap of glued laminated timber casing douglas pine presents various qualities according to the needs: opaque The facades of the offices are designed on a modular principle in plug on the regular weaving of the structure This system is designed to allow a simple and quick modification of the façades while guaranteeing air and water waterprooffing and sound and thermal insulation  The glazed parts are all accessible on one level or by external gallery for easy maintenance and without

Hawaii had merited their place in the final with strong performances throughout the rounds but ultimately it was Pukas and particularly world tour veteran Eneko Acero who shone in the long lefthanders Romain Lauhle of Waimea had rallied with an excellent 8 point ride for a series of backhand hacks and a progressive backside air reverse to gain the upper hand momentarily but Pukas answered straight back through their star man Eneko Acero for 8.10 and never looked back The big shock in the semis had been the elimination of defending champions SB3 of Labenne who were bumped out of an advancing

Have a story idea you would like to suggest? A villa belonging to Russian national Artur Ocheretny, Vladimir Putin's ex-wife's new husband, was seized by French authorities on December 6, 2023, according to a report by the French business publication Challenges built by wealthy Anglo-Belgian financier Alfred Loewenstein in the 1920s near the upscale French resort town of Biarritz on the Atlantic coast It was originally named Villa Souzanna in honor of its patron but is also known as “Rêverie.” The structure features a peristyle with a curved pediment adorned with a bas-relief by a pair of famous French sculptors Covering 5,000 square meters, the property was purchased in December 2013 — half a year after Vladimir Putin and Lyudmila Putina's divorce — for 5.4 million euros ($5.74 million) by Artur Ocheretny, as was reported by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) The property was previously searched as part of an investigation by JUNALCO (National Jurisdiction for Combating Organized Crime) — a division of the Paris public prosecutor's office Lyudmila Ocheretnaya (formerly Lyudmila Putina), was married to the Russian president from 1983 to 2013. Her 2015 marriage to Ocheretny — an Ironman triathlon aficionado more than 20 years her junior — was kept secret until 2016, when journalists discovered that she had changed her last name Vladimir Putin and Lyudmila Putina-Ocheretnaya have two daughters Putin has never publicly acknowledged them as his daughters often referring to them in interviews as “these women.” Multiple investigations have confirmed that Lyudmila and her new husband own multiple properties in Russia and abroad, contributing to suspicions that the Russian president continues to finance his ex-wife’s lifestyle. In 2023, Artur and Lyudmila Ocheretnaya sold their estates in Spain — valued at 2.2 million euros — due to fears of EU sanctions the son of Russian Railways deputy manager Oleg Toni has been targeted as part of the investigation as well The nearby villa “Alta Mira,” which was impounded by French authorities in April 2022 Shamalov was married to Katerina Tikhonova — Lyudmila Ocheretnaya and Vladimir Putin’s daughter We really need your help!

He told Surf Session the following: Why not just do a temporary stop as is already the case in Biarritz or Saint-Jean-de-Luz but there are no more accidents than with surfboards In addition to practice the foil it takes water so it is often high tide It is not at low tide when all surf schools are in the water a complete ban may be overkill – particularly in areas lacking swimmers and surfable waves – but there are little comparisons to be made between the potential damage of a foil-board and normal board a set of standard fins may slice open your leg but a normal board doesn’t have the capacity to sever a limb quite like a foil Stéphane is right in claiming that no incidents have happened in France but the closer the boards venture to swimmers – particularly under the feet of the incompetent – the higher the chance of injury climbs.  Anglet is the first city to place an outright ban on the boards but with their inexorable popularity continuing to grow it’s only a matter of time before other bans and/or injuries pop up around the globe If only everyone was as good at foiling as Kai Lenny that brought Lafayette over with French troops to support the American Revolution in 1780 The frigate, built by hand off plans from the Hermione’s sister ship, departed this past Saturday from Rochefort France for Yorktown, Virginia where it is expected to land on June 5th.
