1962 a group of 13 French and foreign conspirators attempted to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle Dubbed the Petit-Clamart attack for the suburban Paris commune in which it occurred it was one of 31 such attacks on the polarizing French leader during his lifetime de Gaulle emerged unscathed from this latest and deadliest bid—then he commanded it was time to root out and punish the perpetrators The widespread dissatisfaction with de Gaulle that swept France after World War II was rooted in the nation’s history of colonialism and in the president’s response to French-held Algeria’s bid for independence France had not been alone in its centuries-long acquisition of foreign “properties,” of course—throughout history every major nation in the world But as France had recently learned in the jungles of Indochina there came a time in which colonialism was no longer viable.  In the wake of World War I increasing calls for independence by nationalist Muslims of the North African colony were answered by Paris’ promises of greater autonomy a group of Algerian Muslim protesters organized a demonstration in the provincial capital of Sétif exchanging gunfire with police and killing more than 100 Algerian-born European colonists killing upward of 1,500 Algerian Muslims.  Algerian Muslim guerrillas calling themselves the Front de libération nationale (National Liberation Front) launched a wave of attacks against military and civilian targets throughout the colony hoping to force diplomatic recognition of Algeria as a sovereign state the French army in-country—which reached a peak strength of 470,000 troops—responded engaging the rebels in a war that lasted more than seven years and claimed upward of a half million lives The heaviest fighting took place in and around Algiers Both sides employed torture and terror tactics.  buoyed by the combined support of the pieds-noirs and army officers who had staged a pro-French coup that spring in Algiers Charles de Gaulle returned to office as president of France in the expectation he would handily put down the ongoing Algerian revolt he virtually swore to maintain France’s hold on the colony as well as many citizens of metropolitan France when de Gaulle reversed himself in September 1959 and declared for Algerian “self-determination.” True to form he was being less idealistic than practical Keenly aware of France’s debacle in Indochina and unwilling to travel the same road in Algeria de Gaulle chose to risk the enmity of his officer corps the pieds-noirs and many of his own citizens by promoting independence for the colony.  In February 1961 a group of high-ranking army officers went underground to form the Organisation de l’armée secrète (Secret Army Organization) which began a campaign of terror against Algerian Muslims hoping to spark violence that would lead to French army intervention That April the OAS launched an unsuccessful coup in Algiers hoping to persuade de Gaulle not to abandon the colony In its wake of that debacle the OAS committed acts of sabotage and assassination in both Algeria and metropolitan France aimed at thwarting the promised turnover Heading its target list was the French president Algerians overwhelmingly approved the terms of their independence from France and two days later de Gaulle pronounced the nation’s sovereignty The turn of events engendered bitterness and a sense of betrayal among many French citizens Most of the million or so pieds-noirs immediately left Algiers while the cadre of disgruntled army officers continued to plot mayhem A month later the Petit-Clamart conspirators sprang their ambush on de Gaulle coming closer to killing the president than had any previous attempts the leader of the cell plotting to assassinate de Gaulle was a military officer A lieutenant colonel in the French air force Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry was an attractive Referred to in the press as the “French von Braun,” the brilliant Bastien-Thiry was then serving as his service’s principal aviation weaponry engineer Bastien-Thiry had excelled at France’s most prestigious schools of higher learning before joining the air force his father had known and been a political supporter of de Gaulle since the 1930s had come to nurse a deep-seated hatred of the president whom he believed had betrayed not only his country but also those Algerian Muslims who had faithfully fought for France only to have been abandoned to the dubious mercies of the FLN “This is truly a genocide,” he declared at his subsequent trial “perpetrated against Moslems [sic] who had trusted France This genocide claimed the lives of several tens or hundreds of thousands of victims killed after having been horribly tortured.”  Bastien-Thiry’s lieutenant was 35-year-old Alain de Bougrenet de la Tocnaye he too was a career military officer—in his case a French army lieutenant and Algerian War veteran According to a 1973 New York Times profile of and interview with de la Tocnaye the disaffected lieutenant was the model for Frederick Forsyth’s title character in the best-selling 1971 novel The Day of the Jackal But while both the real man and the fictional character shared the objective of assassinating the president of France blond Englishman with opaque gray eyes—a killer at the top of his grisly profession,” de la Tocnaye was “a short baldish Frenchman with clear blue eyes and the candid pink‐cheeked face of an aging choirboy.” And where the “Jackal” of fiction was scrupulously secretive de la Tocnaye was openly verbal in his commitment to kill de Gaulle.  De la Tocnaye had earlier deserted the army and affiliated himself with the OAS in Algiers Firm in the belief that “political assassination is perfectly normal,” he wrote to de Gaulle “Now that you have betrayed the army and the French people and given away Algeria the only solution I see left is to kill you Captured and jailed for desertion in June 1961 the young officer staged a dramatic escape in January 1962 Considering himself something of a romantic hero he penned a tongue-in-cheek letter to the prison warden that read “I regret that I could not salute you before leaving but since my doctor recommended a change of air I took the first opportunity that came along.”  nor would he bear arms in the attempted assassination De la Tocnaye later recalled his first impression of his co-leader: “When I met him I wondered what that type of fellow was doing in our type of action.” the pair shared the same goals: remove de Gaulle from power install a military junta in Algiers and restore Algeria as a French possession Together they set about determining the best method of accomplishing their objectives in one bold stroke They ultimately decided to ambush de Gaulle’s convoy with automatic weapons The two recruited a dozen or so volunteers joining them were three Hungarians who had fought in their nation’s 1956 uprising against the Soviet occupation and were convinced the assassination of the French president would somehow constitute a blow against international communism a hulking brute of a pied-noir named Georges Watin had collected the ears of Algerian Muslim rebels he had killed in a glass jar “[Watin’s] fondest wish was to add de Gaulle’s ears to his collection.” The plot to kill de Gaulle was given the dramatic code name Opération Charlotte Corday after the French revolutionary who had murdered Jacobin radical Jean-Paul Marat in 1793 While the would-be assassins’ plan seemed feasible the logistics proved increasingly bedeviling The OAS failed to provide them the full cooperation they had expected and in one instance a rival OAS faction stole four automatic weapons earmarked for the operation most funding came from Bastien‐Thiry’s and de la Tocnaye’s own pockets The cost of car rentals climbed so high that the conspirators decided to steal the necessary vehicles before the attack.  The plan called for men armed with submachine guns and riding in the backs of two vans to cut off and attack de Gaulle’s convoy in Paris itself In May and June 1962 the group made 12 attempts to carry out the plan but either they missed the link-up with the convoy or there proved to be too many bystanders in the street On one occasion Bastien-Thiry stationed his men along the road leading to a wedding de Gaulle was to attend only to watch the president arrive by helicopter In all the conspirators staged 17 unsuccessful “dress rehearsals” in a campaign that resembled more a Keystone Cops routine than a Mission Impossible operation.  Their 18th attempt hinged on the rigid itinerary de Gaulle had established when traveling from his country villa in northeast France to the Élysée Palace in Paris in order to attend cabinet meetings Since escaping an earlier bombing attack against his car the president had followed a routine to minimize his time spent on the road From his Colombey-les-Deux-Églises villa he traveled the 40 miles north by car to a waiting military helicopter at the Saint-Dizier air base It flew him the 150 miles to the air base in the Parisian commune of Villacoublay from which a convoy transported him the final 8 miles to the palace Bastien-Thiry and de la Tocnaye (code-named “Didier” and “Max,” respectively) set up their ambush in Petit-Clamart along the road between Paris and Villacoublay the would-be assassins were to station themselves at intervals along the road A source within the Élysée Palace was to phone word of the president’s departure to Bastien-Thiry Two primary routes led from the palace to the airport and de Gaulle never let the chosen one be known until he was underway a member of the cell was to wait for the president’s convoy at a crucial junction then phone Bastien-Thiry with its chosen path “Didier” would then emerge from the café and wave a newspaper to signal “Max” and the other gunmen the conspirators would block its passage and open fire with automatic weapons The cabinet meeting on that dank and drizzly August 22 ran long and de Gaulle did not leave the Élysée Palace until 7:35 p.m He was seated beside his wife in the rear of the first of two Citroën DS 19 sedans sat up front beside the policeman assigned as their driver Following in the second vehicle were two high-ranking police officials one of de Gaule’s bodyguards and a military doctor Escorting the unmarked sedans were two patrolmen on motorcycles “Didier’s” informant called to let him know of de Gaulle’s departure and the four vehicles drove into position.  But the conspirators hadn’t anticipated the fading light of dusk stationed some 200 yards down the road from Bastien-Thiry The Citroëns’ sudden appearance surprised them all “Open up!” to the two armed men in his car unleashing a torrent of automatic weapons fire toward the president’s car pouring rounds into the vehicle’s side and tires as well as into the facades of roadside buildings tasked with blocking the president’s car with his vehicle floored the accelerator pedal but was too late to cut off the lead Citroën As de Gaulle’s vehicle sped off down the road fired at the rear window of the president’s car de Gaulle and his wife had slumped down in their seats none of the president’s party had been hit Considering that investigators recovered 187 shell casings from the scene it was miraculous that no one had been injured which bore 14 bullet holes in its sides and two tires the president’s driver sped out of Petit-Clamart and conveyed de Gaulle and his wife safely to the Villacoublay air base On arrival de Gaulle remarked to those gathered “Cette fois c’était tangent” (“This time it was close”) As the presidential convoy roared away the conspirators scattered having agreed each would make his own way across the border into Spain Among those on the run was gunman Pierre-Henri Magade Stopped at a police checkpoint in early September he foolishly boasted of his part in the Petit-Clamart attack Under a promise of partial immunity he then gave up his fellow conspirators and within two weeks authorities had captured Bastien-Thiry the cold-blooded killer who collected ears in a jar and had come the closest to accomplishing the would-be assassins’ objective he died there of a heart attack at age 71 in 1994.) the nine captured conspirators appeared before the Military Court of Justice in Paris In an emotional trial that captivated France the defendants called more than 100 witnesses he took full advantage of his moment in the spotlight quoting centuries-old writers and delivering a windy diatribe on the current status of France Algeria and their respective places in Western civilization De la Tocnaye’s lawyers argued their client’s actions were impelled by honor as he saw the liberation of Algeria as a betrayal of his military vows to keep the colony a part of France Bastien-Thiry took a more aggressive stance attacking de Gaulle’s government and justifying the act of assassination as a permissible means of deposing a tyrant He accused de Gaulle of having abandoned to FLN slaughter those Algerian Muslims who had been loyal to France “revealed his monstrous nature in displaying only indifference toward these unspeakable sufferings.” Yet the young air force officer vigorously insisted his intention all along had been merely to kidnap the president When the prosecutor asked what he would have done had de Gaulle resisted capture Bastien-Thiry flippantly replied he would have confiscated the president’s glasses and suspenders The courtroom was greatly amused; de Gaulle was not Bastien-Thiry’s defense attorney was heard to mutter “He has just signed his own death warrant,” while one of the military judges later remarked Bastien-Thiry was found guilty and sentenced to death De Gaulle later commuted five of the death sentences to life imprisonment There would be no mercy for the disgraced air force colonel Boissieu later listed his father-in-law’s reasons for having refused clemency for Bastien-Thiry: • The defendant had directed his subordinates to fire on a car in which an innocent woman • He had endangered civilians traveling in a car near the president’s vehicle; • He had brought foreigners—the three Hungarians—into the plot;  • While the other conspirators had done the actual shooting thus exposing themselves to possible return fire Bastien-Thiry had merely directed events from a safe distance saw this as an act of unpardonable cowardice; there was Bastien-Thiry’s unpardonable “glasses and suspenders” jibe a week after the pronouncement of sentence Bastien-Thiry was awakened in his cell at Fresnes Prison and informed he was about to die the government had lined the road from the prison to Fort D’Ivry the Parisian stronghold at which the execution was to take place Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry was bound to a post and shot His was France’s last execution by firing squad de Gaulle gave a dinner that night for the presidents of the special courts including the one who had condemned Bastien-Thiry “The French need martyrs,” he remarked to an old Free French companion In 1968 de la Tocnaye and the other conspirators were included in a general political amnesty and released from prison or pardoned in absentia (De Gaulle himself retired a year later and died at home of an aneurysm on Nov two weeks before his 80th birthday.) After being granted his pardon de la Tocnaye authored a book whimsically titled Comment je n’ai pas tué de Gaulle (How I Didn’t Kill de Gaulle) When asked during a promotional press conference “Did you consider when you carried out your operation that Madame de Gaulle was also in the car?” he replied As he’d told a New York Times interviewer 36 years earlier his only regret was “not to have killed de Gaulle.” Ron Soodalter is a frequent contributor to HistoryNet publications For further reading he recommends De Gaulle: The Ruler   Whether they produced battlefield images of the dead or daguerreotype portraits of common soldiers In 1964 an Ohio woman took up the challenge that had led to Amelia Earhart’s disappearance William Frederick Cody (1846-1917) led a signal life from his youthful exploits with the Pony Express and in service as a U.S Army scout to his globetrotting days as a showman and international icon Buffalo Bill the colorfully nicknamed proprietor of Booger Red’s Wild West backed up his boast he could ride anything on four legs “History is a guide to navigation in perilous times History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” HistoryNet.com is brought to you by HistoryNet LLC, the world’s largest publisher of history magazines photo galleries and over 25,000 articles originally published in our nine magazines Subscribe to receive our weekly newsletter with top stories from master historians sign me up!

Thursday in a statement on its website France — A Paris region town of 54,000 people says it’s putting an overnight curfew in place in response to rioting triggered by the deadly police shooting of a suburban teenager It said the overnight curfew would start at 9 p.m It cited “the risk of new public order disturbances” for the decision we are determined that it stay that way,” it said A police officer in a Paris suburb was handed a preliminary charge of voluntary homicide Thursday after the deadly shooting of a 17-year-old that triggered two nights of riots as the French government vowed to restore order and crack down on a violence that has spread to other cities Nanterre prosecutor Pascal Prache said his initial investigation led him to conclude “the conditions for the legal use of the weapon were not met" in the shooting The shooting captured on video shocked the country and stirred up long-simmering tensions between police and young people in housing projects and other disadvantaged neighborhoods preliminary charges mean investigating judges have strong reason to suspect wrongdoing but allow time for further investigation before a decision is made on whether to send the case to trial The police officer has been placed in provisional detention Ministers fanned out to areas scarred by the sudden flare-up of rioting appealing for calm but also warning that the violence that injured scores of police and damaged nearly 100 public buildings wouldn’t be allowed to continue Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the number of police officers deployed would more than quadruple the number of officers deployed would more than double to 5,000 “The professionals of disorder must go home,” Darmanin said While there’s no need yet to declare a state of emergency — a measure taken to quell weeks of rioting in 2005 — he added: “The state’s response will be extremely firm.” Bus and rail services were shutting down at 9 p.m EDT) to safeguard transportation workers and passengers a decision sure to impact untold thousands of travelers in the French capital and its suburbs “Our transports are not targets for thugs and vandals!” Valerie Pecresse Despite a beefed-up police presence Wednesday night violence resumed after dusk with protesters shooting fireworks and hurling stones at police in Nanterre police and firefighters struggled to contain protesters and extinguish numerous blazes town halls and other public buildings were damaged from Toulouse in the south to Lille in the north with most of the damage in the Paris suburbs according to a spokesperson for the national police Fire damaged the town hall in the the Paris suburb of L’Ile-Saint-Denis not far from the country’s national stadium and the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Olympics Darmanin said 170 officers had been injured in the unrest but none of the injuries was life-threatening At least 90 public buildings were vandalized The number of civilians injured was not immediately released said officers tried to stop Nahel because he looked so young and was driving a Mercedes with Polish license plates in a bus lane He ran a red light to avoid being stopped but then got stuck in a traffic jam Both officers involved said they drew their guns to prevent him from fleeing The officer who fired a single shot said he feared he and his colleague or someone else could be hit by the car The officers said they felt “threatened” as the car drove off Two magistrates were named to lead the investigation Nahel’s surname has not been released by authorities or by his family lawyers for the family spelled the name Nael a police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old Guinean man in western France has preliminarily been charged with voluntary homicide The man was fatally shot by an officer as he allegedly tried to flee a traffic stop Scenes of violence in France’s suburbs echo 2005 when the deaths of 15-year-old Bouna Traoré and 17-year-old Zyed Benna led to three weeks of nationwide riots exposing anger and resentment in neglected The two boys were electrocuted after hiding from police in a power substation in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois French President Emmanuel Macron held an emergency security meeting Thursday about the violence “These acts are totally unjustifiable,” Macron said at the beginning of the meeting which aimed at securing hot spots and planning for the coming days “so full peace can return.” Macron also said it was time for “remembrance and respect” as Nahel’s mother called for a silent march Thursday that drew a large crowd to the square where he was killed Some marchers had “Justice for Nahel” printed on the front of their T-shirts “The police kill” read one marcher’s placard Bouquets of orange and yellow roses now mark the site of the shooting French activists renewed calls to tackle what they see as systemic police abuse particularly in neighborhoods like the one where Nahel lived where many residents struggle with poverty and racial or class discrimination Government officials condemned the killing and sought to distance themselves from the police officer’s actions Videos of the shooting shared online show two police officers leaning into the driver-side window of a yellow car before the vehicle pulls away as one officer fires into the window The videos show the car later crashed into a post nearby Deadly use of firearms is less common in France than in the United States though several people have died or sustained injuries at the hands of French police in recent years France also saw protests against racial profiling and other injustice in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by police in Minnesota The most recent government statistics available show that 17 people were killed after police and gendarmerie officers shot at them in 2021 Macron said justice should be allowed to run its course told The Associated Press they want the police officer prosecuted for murder instead of

A large gold mirror prototype, wall lamp, pendant light, and bench are also by Lemardeley. Craftsman Christian Forget constructed the concrete staircase and inlaid it with pieces of brass designed by Lemardeley. The rug glimpsed in the back room is from La Manufacture Cogolin the original abode required a complete overhaul She knocked down walls and created all the archways “This is really a new house,” Lemardeley explains the floors; added a third floor; and expanded in the back We also raised the ceiling height in the main salon.” The renovated house now includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms for the couple and their three children under the age of eight Get a year of unlimited access for $25 $20 per month The modern interiors which are cast in a warm palette thanks to an assortment of wall treatments “This house is meant to be a place for me to experiment so colors change and things move around regularly,” shares the designer but does have lots of bits and bobs and different materials “I like to keep all of these things for inspiration Lemardeley has a studio on the top floor with a large terrace and views as far as Sacré Coeur But her favorite place in the house is the dining room And I think it works with the large Dionysus chandelier Lemardeley has spent 17 years living in and around Paris it’s clear that her home rests firmly on the outskirts of the City of Light—so much so that her latest large-scale project is a sculpture for the city of Clamart The dining room table is a Lemardeley prototype constructed out of burnt wood and polished resin. The Dionysus Chandelier is also by Lemardeley while the chairs are by Gio Ponti. A piece by American artist Lee Burr can be seen, as can Pomax vases The steel coffee table with a stainless glass top is by Lemardeley. The chalk-colored terry towel is from Harmony Textile while the bathtub is Betacryl. A polished, hammered mirror wall was an experimental creation by Lemardeley.

mark Olympic and Paralympic Week in schools in 2023 the young beneficiaries of the "Onze de légende" (Legendary Eleven) operation which has been run since 2022 by the teams of the Paris Saint Germain Foundation received an official visit from the French President yesterday afternoon on the pitch in Clamart A pillar of the Paris Saint-Germain Foundation's disability programme Onze de légende aims to promote inclusion and living together by enabling children with autism to participate fully in a sporting activity The Onze de légende is a team made up of children with autism and neuro-typical children supervised by educators from the Paris Saint-Germain Foundation young people aged 9 to 11 benefit from free training sessions without a licence The aim is to enable each of them to take a step towards the other and to overcome their difficulties in order to challenge the club's U9s (under 9s) children supported by the IME and the Autisme sans frontière 92 charity can strengthen their social skills to overcome difficulties in communicating and interacting with others The training session also allows the children to develop their coordination and physical skills and to improve their self-confidence The project was born out of a documentary directed by Thomas Raguet and produced by Caroline Delage (Au Tableau Productions) for Canal+ which recounts the adventures of this extraordinary team will be broadcast on Saturday 8 April at 19:00 on freeview on Canal+ and has been available on the myCanal platform since 30 November 2022 Onze de légende has already changed the lives of many neurotypical and autistic children This documentary also aims to change the way people look at sport mutual aid and solidarity conveyed by football this experience aims to improve these children's daily lives at school and at home both by pushing them to overcome their social difficulties and by raising society's awareness of their disability Placeholder for video embed for ID

France to challenge the long dominance of imported heart devices in China a subsidiary company of the MicroPort Scientific Corporation in Shanghai's Zhangjiang High-Tech Park in Pudong has unveiled their new headquarters in Clamart in the southwestern suburbs of Paris established through an acquisition of a French company in April mainly researches and manufactures cardiac rhythm management devices along with training and marketing sectors The headquarters covers 12,000 square meters and has about 1,000 employees pacemakers and other cardiac devices it produced are being sold worldwide “We have full confidence that MicroPort CRM will become a leader in the global cardiac rhythm management industry within about a decade,” said Benoit Clinchamps The launching of the headquarters also marks MicroPort CRM becoming one of the top five cardiac rhythm management device manufacturers in the world Officials with the French ministries of economy and finance attended the launch ceremony of the headquarters and promised to offer active support in talent training Researches work at a lab in the new headquarters of MicroPort CRM a subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation in Clamart said the new headquarters will enhance the research efficiency of China’s cardiac rhythm management business and benefit more Chinese cardiac disease patients with cheaper China has about a million bradycardia patients who need pacemakers implanted with an estimated 400,000 new cases annually Recently only 80,000 patients have been able to receive the implant annually About 540,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest each year in China The country started researching pacemakers in the 1960s but domestic production never amounted to much due to a lack of technical know-how Hong Kong-listed MicroPort Scientific Corporation was established in Shanghai in 1998 It has become a leading medical device company with business focusing on the innovation and marketing of domestically manufactured medical devices globally China’s first domestically made pacemaker to meet international standards, which have been implanted in the first batch of patients in Shanghai and other provinces The pacemaker measures just 8 cubic centimeters making it the smallest such device on the Chinese market It costs is about 30 percent less than imported pacemakers which is China’s first domestically made pacemaker to meet international standards 1.Comments will appear only after being approved by our team so it might be a while before your comment is posted 2.In accordance with the Regulations on

growing in popularity for their speed of construction and the architectural possibilities they open up Productivity of manufacturing companies has risen steadily from 1990s whereas the productivity of construction companies has stayed flat or even declined Faster building projects lead to faster revenue thus saving money and time are the main drivers for increased usage of prefabricated elements And one company urging the increased use of prefabrication is Finnish timber provider Metsa Wood it’s got a clear vested interest in singing the laurels of timber Forestry in Finland is big; the €900M-turnover Metsa Wood is part of the €5bn-turnover Metsa Group owned by 116,000 Finnish forest owners and employer of 9,600 people The broader timber industry employs another 300,000 people It’s a big export and as such is a big part of the Finnish economy making the case for it to be used in place of other materials “The construction industry hasn’t been able to increase its productivity rate in 25 years,” says Metsa Wood executive vice president Esa Kaikkonen Kaikkonen cites a report from McKinsey&Company last year that found the productivity gap between the manufacturing industry and the construction sector is currently 1.7-fold He also cites an earlier report – in 2011 – from McGraw Hill Construction that found that 70% of projects that used prefabricated elements were delivered faster and 65% were delivered for lower cost He also draws on evidence from Sweden that almost 80% of projects where prefabricated products were in use produced less waste “Our elements should be easy to use - easy to design and easy to work with – to increase that productivity,” he stresses Kaikkonen’s view is that there should be more focus on the speed of the process without compromising quality Shorter building time and easier design leads to faster revenue but is also an opportunity to meet the rapidly growing needs of urban construction and sustainability demands at the same time “And construction must become more sustainable,” he asserts We’re basing our business plans on this,” he says there is a movement towards greener buildings and indeed towards timber buildings “It is only a matter of time until the first timber skyscraper is built.” “There is a big trend globally towards green building policies,” says Kaikkonen “The US is updating its codes to allow taller timber buildings China is particularly interesting and is updating its codes to allow for [taller] timber buildings… And China usually does what it says it will Australia changed its building codes to allow timber framed structures up to eight storeys in height in May this year As the result of a two-year research project the country’s National Construction Code has been altered so that the permitted height of wooden buildings increases from three storeys to eight The new regulations are more line with buildings codes in North America and Europe where many seven- to nine-storey wooden buildings have been completed and a series of timber-framed skyscrapers are proposed Finland adopted a similar change to its building codes in 2010 paving the way for an eight-storey wooden apartment block – the tallest of its kind in the country – to be completed last year engineers and architects presented plans for an 80-storey timber-framed skyscraper The 300m high Oakwood Tower would sit within London’s Barbican It’s been worked on by a team which includes civil and structural engineer Smith and Wallwork alongside researchers from Cambridge University’s Department of Architecture and PLP Architecture The team is looking at the use of timber in tall buildings from the viewpoint of its benefit as a renewable material potential reduced cost and quicker construction As Smith and Wallwork co-founder Simon Smith said in unveiling the plans: “Timber is our only renewable construction material and in its modern engineered form it can work alongside steel and concrete to extend and regenerate our cities So Metsa is hitting what it sees as an open and inviting market And its high-strength Kerto LVL (laminated veneer timber) prefabricated roof and floor elements are at the heart of its push rotary-peeled softwood veneers that are glued together using weather resistant adhesive Its high strength derives from homogenous bonded structure and the end result is strong and dimensionally stable – it does not warp or twist “LVL is almost a commodity product in the US and Canada but not so well known in Europe,” says Kaikkonen “We are not entering the building industry so we need the building industry to use our products for themselves,” he adds Kaikkonen says the results are there to see Our modular structures have a claimed 20% reduction in construction time,” he states He cites Finnish supermarket giant Tokmanni that is using its Kerto LVL to build its new stores and claiming construction rates 30% faster as a result Karisma shopping centre features a Kerto roof panel interior Metsa Wood R&D engineer Jussi Bjorman says all shapes and sizes of LVL are made to order at the company’s mills – adding to the efficiency story “It’s a customised product so there is minimum waste – either in transport costs or on the construction site,” he says It’s easy to design with and easier still to assemble Assembly is done using standard tools – “it is still timber” he notes – and Metsa’s Finnwood software is available for design to Eurocodes with all national annexes available So how does LVL compare to glued laminated timber (glulam) that is rather more prevalent “It give you the freedom to create unique solutions.” He cites the eye-catching sports centre in Clamart France which opened in April this year and features variable curvature LVL beams in its 40m long roof structure (see below) Metsa Wood’s Clamart long span wood frame using Kerto LVL Usually you would use Glulam but there were some tight radiuses that work better with LVL,” he explains “LVL is significantly more expensive,” admits Bjormann But comparing it on a pound for pound basis is too simplistic says Metsa Wood senior vice president business development Mikko Saavalainen “Comparing m3 to m3 is not the way to understand it We believe the evidence is there [that using timber is more efficient] And Metsa isn’t saying that everything should be built out of LVL “The idea is not to build everything out of wood but to use wood in the best place,” concludes Saavalainen “What we’re trying to do is open up the construction process in how to use wood to make the process lighter The innovative use of prefabricated timber products has enabled an ambitious architectural vision to be fulfilled in the French town of Clamart Metsa Wood’s Clamart long-span wood frame using Kerto Its new sports centre has a complex shape designed to follow the curves of the landscape The design was based on the definition of the architectural concept by Gaétan Morales and his team from Gaëtan Le Penhuel architects and the technical solution linked the façade and roof together in a continuous structure not just because of its size but also because of its shape unusual dimensions and wide opening in the roof for the track and field area very few pieces of timber used were identical,” explains Antoine Roux structural engineer at engineering contractor Charpente Concept the roof and framework design of the Clamart Sports Centre posed advanced technical and aesthetic challenges such as the double curvature in certain areas of the roof which is generally used for building long curved beams The use of Kerto LVL enabled the widest possible freedom of curvature to support the architectural vision of the complex Metsa Wood’s delivery consisted of Kerto LVL rafters for the building’s frame and roof structure The largest rafters used were 1,200mm deep with a maximum beam span of 30.4m between supports With the complex geometry of the wooden roof structure the main challenge was to ensure that the elements supported the loads imposed by the shape of the roof The stability of the building was achieved by a grillage frame structure made of Kerto LVL beams In total 562 secondary rafters were used with lengths varying from 2.8m to 4.3m connecting with 41 cross-members with a total length of 40m The roof structure was all supported on 28 longitudinal columns with lengths between 5m and 8.5m The high connection strength of cross-bonded Kerto was found to reduce the amount of required connectors and thus the size of the steel plates All of this allowed significant savings for the contractor The hollow cavity of the beams was used to hide most of the steel plates and embedded metal fasteners such as brackets timber can claim some good stats around energy consumption the construction sector uses a significant share of global energy – and a large part of this goes to the production of building materials Metsa’s wood mill in Lohja produces Kerto LVL in a way that actually generates more bioenergy than is used in the process The rest of the bioenergy is used by the surrounding town The mill is a great example of the joint production of construction products and bioenergy as much of the wood as possible is used for Kerto LVL Part of the sawdust and wood chips generated in processing the engineered wood are used for pulp A bio heating plant has been built next to the mill in order to capture the full potential of the production The heat energy produced at the plant covers the needs of the mill – and the excess is sold for district heating to the surrounding town which makes the Lohja Kerto LVL mill 100% energy self-sufficient The heat produced for district heating compensates for the purchase of electricity needed for the mill’s operation The remaining heat from the Kerto LVL production process is sold for district heating to the town of Lohja “The local bio heating plant is a significant support for reaching our ambitious low carbon energy goals,” says the mayor of Lohja Lohja is part of Finland’s national scheme to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 we have reached our first milestone: 15% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2016” Tagged with: Norway is to build the world’s highest timber building The hardwood Smile structure has been unveiled as part of the London… Every month
