Text description provided by the architects. The place affirms its liberty and appears free from the barely solemn city, only defined by a nick of water and trees who crystalize History on this very site. Nothing stands up to this geographical feature. There, a very vivid and live passage, a bridge, and the beyond — the inner city border, the one of links and connections. Located East, in the Ferté Bernard, Sartre area, the Jean d’Ormesson media library is set in a dense urban area, at the heart of the city. The 1800m² lot is situated on the edge of the old town and the river that surrounds it. Ground Floor PlanOpposite of the old town, the outdoor activities center and the main traffic lane gather to galvanize the nearby cycle of ongoing movement. They both break the connection with the large body of water. The Media  library is a delicate object, dramatized within a subtle mist coming from the ground and transforming the forecourt into a large mirror reminding of the surrounding water. The program emanates from the coming together of two facilities: a games library and the Médiathèque itself. The approach we offer regarding the project’s interaction with its environment is to consider its manifest off-site location on the edge of the old town, and to acknowledge its cultural energy as a means of openness and modernity outwards. © Philippe RuaultThe accumulation of volumes allows to connect the game library and the Médiathèque as parallel universes. The building’s wrapping is rooted in its own purpose,  arrayed with textures, texts and signs, back against reflections and light shades. © Philippe RuaultFunctionalities result in a simple flowing volume, directly connecting the program and compulsory procedures of usage. This approach allows for a coherent integration and homogenous landscaping of the surroundings. The upper floor’s momentum creates a signal, and sheltered point through which one can access to the inside. The relation to pedestrian alleys is strongly emphasized, as their role of of connecting points of passage between neighborhoods is essential. AxonometricFrom the inside, poles are developed into a core design from which users can move in a flexible and smooth movement. Moving around is possible and facilitated, as it can be developed over an outlying design of in a concentring way. Movements are interspersed with reception desks regularly spread to stimulate dialogue over the cultural series offered by the Media library’s team. The building is a reflection of its environment. It is a direct reaction to the site’s energy flows. The facade builds reflections to vanish behind the frontage. It is spread with signal signs that work as bookmarks. Entirely covered with PMMA plaques and scarcely touched with stainless steal, the frontage plays as a blurred mirror through which we can perceive the depths of stratums. © Philippe RuaultIt stages the direct surroundings as a lively opening toward the game library and the Médiathèque, and protects the inside against heat and glare. Transparent pads of plastic and lean open frames allow for broad direct and numerous views. The Médiathèque’s pull is conveyed by see-through inserts. Cross SectionIts reflections and direct connection to the city and to the various landscapes nearby link the Mediathèque to its surroundings the reminder of a simile or an incomplete reflection is present throughout the project and acts as a thread that strengthen its cohesion Little wavy pads contribute to the movement induced by the material and blur the limit between the design and its own reflection 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 Tuesday | May 06 2025 | Four Seasons Resorts Kuda Huraa has appointed Didier Jardin a hospitality veteran who has been with the Four Seasons since 1994 this sky diver and adrenaline-junkie's formative years were spent in France’s Loire Valley a region known for its extraordinary castles and for its Sancerre and Pouilly Fume wines With the epiphany that a career in hospitality would afford him the chance to see the world he commenced a two-year apprenticeship to become a fine-dining waiter He spent three years studying hotel management earning a CFA Food and Beverage Diploma beaches and rainforest,” Didier recalls His wife and he packed backpacks and a tent – “as a back-up in case money ran out” – and flew to Hawaii “I applied everywhere in the islands and got offers from a Mexican restaurant on the beach and Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea I made the right choice,” he says with a smile Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa is Didier’s tenth Four Seasons posting Mauritius and Hualalai to the cityscapes of New York Cairo and Chicago – the birthplace of his twin daughters – he is well on his way to achieving his goal of working for Four Seasons in every region where the brand operates vivek.mittal@businessworld.in, amit.bhasin@businessworld.in Subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on our latest news We received 73 reports about a fireball seen over Île-de-France, Bretagne, Centre-Val de Loire, England, Normandie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Pays de la Loire on Sunday, December 22nd 2024 around 22:25 UT.For this event, we received one video and one photo Each witness has a "level" of experience from 1 to 5 - 5 is the highest level of experience Use the buttons on the bottom left section of the map to change the display options Oulu, Finland / La Ferté Bernard, France, April 13, 2023  – Finnish IMSE pioneer TactoTek and BeLink Solutions a multi-industry leading EMS supplier in automotive industrial  and smart home & building market segments BeLink Solutions will design and build IMSE functional films integrating TactoTek’s design rules to enable the supply of functional films for the development of innovative smart surfaces With BeLink Solutions as a design and functional film supplier TactoTek’s licensees can now access the complete ecosystem for developing unique 3D smart surfaces Critical value-add to enable providing smart and intelligent solutions to customers The license enables BeLink Solutions to be an ideal product partner for TactoTek’s other licensees The IMSE license for the provisioning of functional films adds value to the existing product line enabling BeLink Solutions to meet the market demand for smart surfaces “We can draw on existing experience and our installed equipment to guarantee our mutual IMSE customers a quick entry into the market the combination of BeLink Solutions’ years of experience coupled with TactoTek’s innovative technology opens a new business area for us” Complete ecosystem for our licensees to design TactoTek’s objective is to build a world-class partner ecosystem ensuring IMSE technology is the go-to technology for smart interfaces and surfaces a critical milestone for the supply of functional surfaces is met and the industry can benefit from this collaboration.  According to Marko-Suo Anttila “BeLink Solutions' robust experience in electronics manufacturing combined with their expertise in printed electronics and design for manufacturing capabilities ensures rapid adaptation to IMSE technology from the early stages of a product's lifecycle all the way to mass production This winning combination positions them as a leading force in the industry.” and our ecosystem of engineering design partners TactoTek has the right network of partners to enable scaling and successful deployment of IMSE technology-based innovative interfaces TactoTek develops and licenses In-Mold Structural Electronics (IMSE®) for its customers over a broad range of industries With especially strong interest from the automotive market and circular economy resonates beyond the surface bringing technology innovators and brands together in previously unseen ways TactoTek helps brand owners and suppliers to flourish in the new era of smart surfaces TactoTek is funded by international leaders in finance and industry committed to advancing technology solutions that benefit consumers and the environment.

I feel like that helps me keep my weekly routine, and I feel like I get so much more out of the day.” The fragile 7in x 5in glass plate negatives reproduced here were weighty items; period photographers had to haul many to every race For anyone deeply interested in the entire span of motor sporting history it’s often a pain to see early racing photography only in grainy This is largely because what has been published is at best just a copy For clarity in reproducing contemporary photographs there is no better substitute for printing – or in the digital age scanning – from an original negative direct For the past 20 years or so the GP Library Collection has included nearly 900 original and first-class glass-plate negatives recording pioneer major-league European motor sport from before World War I Each one measures 18cm x 15cm and is about 2mm thick Stack a dozen of them together and that’s quite a hefty block of glass Imagine them in their original lightproof frames ready to be loaded one by one into an early brass wood and leather camera and it’s obvious the poor photographer had to sport some serious muscle to lug a day’s supply of them around a racing circuit the truth was probably that the photographer had a paid assistant along as his sherpa… while he hiked the course light The author of the incredible images reproduced here was Maurice Louis Branger (pronounced ‘Brawn-zhay’) His forenames have often been quoted hyphenated but his birth and marriage certificates demonstrate otherwise he built much of his reputation for a competent composition through photographing everyday Parisian life but early big-time motor sport was a great personal interest to him His pictures graced the pages of many specialist European journals and founded his Photopresse photo reportage agency at 5 Rue Cambon Another early star photographer of the racing scene was Belgian-born Louis Meurisse who actually worked for Branger before going independent and rubbing shoulders most notably with the doyen of Edwardian-era British reporters In truth we cannot know for sure how many surviving ‘Branger’ images were actually captured by Meurisse but the main man himself was evidently well known and well liked amongst the pre-First World War racing fraternity as one of the rare photographers to cover the First Balkan War He commissioned fellow photographers to visit that conflict and from 1914 he and his colleagues became World War I photographers Postwar he was no longer active on the racing scene Branger’s record of motor racing’s reality from 1902-14 preserves a haunting quality of that long-gone era It’s one during which racing drivers divided between monied sporting gentlemen and purely professional artisan workers simply doing their day job To hold one of these original glass-plate negs today is to marvel at its simple survival over more than 100 years Then there’s the sense that this frail pane was actually right there on that actual day vibrating to the throb of that massive racing engine as the car in question bellowed by Here in your hand is what amounts to being that fleeting instant of racing history’s last eye witness… V Grand Prix de l’Automobile Club de France Three places that even non-motorsport fans would identify as representative of the spirit of racing and the Holy Trinity of races that any driver worth his salt wants to have on his CV Each of them is the epitome of their style of racing: Indy for high speed ovals unforgiving streets and Le Mans for long lap and the chances are that the default response is ‘Le Mans’ Jaguar XJR12 or an Audi R18 and it’s the same Racing first took place around the city of Le Mans right back in 1906 with the French Grand Prix held around an enormous course laid out on public roads to the east of the city The layout described a triangle ranging from La Ferté-Bernard in the top right corner down to St Calais in the bottom right north-west to the outskirts of Le Mans at St Mars La Briere and then north-east back to the starting point The straight from St Calais was almost 15 miles long This kind of epic size was typical of the time: courses were defined by hard things like houses and trees rather than nice big run-offs and gravel traps In 1911 the track moved close to its current location: a mere 33-mile layout with a long north-south straight through a small village called Mulsanne and down to Écommoy then north-east through St Mars L’Outile and north-west to Parigne L’Évêque These roads still exist for the most hardcore of Le Mans completists to trace… the circuit was flipped on its Mulsanne axis and reduced in size to become the template for today’s track: the Hunaudières straight Arnage and the start-line position all date from this period with an additional triangular cap pushing north into the city suburbs and the Pontlieue hairpin (above) before running back down to the Tertre Rouge kink and on to Mulsanne The French Grand Prix were followed in 1923 by the first running of a new concept : a Grand Prix for Endurance and Efficiency run on the 11 mile circuit over 24 hours on the weekend of May 26/27 The original race saw 33 cars take the start The winner during this early period was based on distance rather than position (a rule that would even catch Ford out in ’66); a Chenard & Walcker Sport came home first Next was a period of utter domination by two marques: Bentley to start between ’27 and ’30 and then Alfa Romeo from ’31 to ’34 During this period the track also underwent small changes the first of 14 contractions and shimmies that have evolved into the track we see today The run into the suburbs was cut down between 1929 and ’31 and then in 1932 removed completely with the creation of the link from Dunlop (complete with two Dunlop Bridges) to Tertre Rouge (shown here) via the Forest Esses Looking at a sequence of pictures of the Forest Esses there’s basically been no change in the track except for the trees thinning out and the banks retreating but the Forest Esses are same challenge they ever were Concrete kilometre marker posts used to line the track – some of which can be seen in the Le Mans Museum which we’ll be featuring in a forthcoming story The pits were completely rebuilt in 1956 following the horrific accident for Mercedes in 1955 when factory driver Pierre Leveigh and 80 spectators were killed when he crashed into the crowd on the start straight The smart whitewashed concrete and slanted front was cutting edge for the time and presented a sparkling modern image for the circuit Come race-days the building disappeared under the sea of people giving the impression of an avalanche of people overlooking the open pit-lane This is one thing that has never changed about Le Mans: the vast numbers of people that the race attracts every year Hundreds of thousands of fans cram the bleachers and tribunes overlooking the straight creating a tunnel-like area where the noise of the cars can be rivalled by the spectators It’s always one of the special things about Le Mans at night: seeing the cars arrive out of the darkness through the Ford Chicane and power up through the middle of the floodlit grandstands before disappearing again into the night It wasn’t until 1971 that someone had the crazy idea that it might be a good idea to separate the track from the pit-lane with a ribbon of Armco: previously the only protection for mechanics and drivers had been a painted white line… This iteration of the pits lasted until the modern glass and steel complex was constructed at the turn of the century There were no more major changes to the track until 1968 when the interior Bugatti circuit was built to allow national racing to continue without having to close local roads and the Ford Chicane inserted at the entrance to the start/finish straight This layout still included the fearsome Maison Blanche section which was a deceptively difficult kink in the long sweep from Arnage to the finish Looking at images from before the modern period even though the corners themselves are recognisable the biggest difference is in the run-off – or lack of it The circuit was virtually a street circuit with barriers lining the track right at the edge of the tarmac Wooden palisades gave way to concrete walls with sand banks seen as the appropriate solution to cars running wide on the exit of corners especially in mind of the number of cars that hit the banks and turned over or the effect of hitting a sand-bank that had been soaked with rain for several days giving the equivalent of a concrete barrier thoughts on safety are always relative in this period It just didn’t occur to people that maybe it might be a good thing to keep drivers (and spectators) in one piece when there was fine motoring entertainment to be had the Le Mans running start lasted all the way to 1969 when Jacky Ickx famously boycotted the tradition and sauntered to his car narrowly avoiding being run over by another driver who wasn’t so bothered and properly did up his safety harness before joining the race Ickx’s point about safety was made even more relevant by a Porsche privateer being killed in accident at Maison Blanche on the first lap of that year’s race his life likely lost due him not having secured his belts Steve McQueen’s 1971 film Le Mans is a fantastic way of experiencing the track as it was in period (in the same way that watching Grand Prix takes you back in time to the tracks of the 1960s) He entered a Porsche 908 in the 24 Hours itself mounting a camera which captured some incredible on-board images and mixed the result with footage both taken during the race and action sequences shot afterwards Showing the era of the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 it’s a time capsule of a golden age for Le Mans Maison Blanche – the White House – was a notorious accident black spot so in 1972 the entire section was bypassed with the construction of a completely new combination of corners to be called the Porsche Curves The Ford Chicane was also doubled to its current left-right In 1979 Tertre Rouge was re-profiled and made tighter due to the creation of a new public road section – one of the most frequent reasons for changes being made to the track The exit of Tertre Rouge dovetailed into the main road and up until recently you could still inveigle your way around the barriers on the outside and watch the cars disappearing into the distance down the Hunaudières straight The famous track-side bar at Tertre Rouge has become more and more obscured in recent years… But take the tunnel under the track and the bar itself is always heaving with race fans On the years where the Canadian GP runs on the same weekend as Le Mans there’s no better place to watch the F1 race the famous restaurant just before the first chicane on Hunaudières is also covered up behind protective fencing All through its existence the majority of the circuit has predominantly been made up of public roads – most famously the Hunaudières straight Accidents (on this occasion of the road rather than racing variety) had led to the installation of a roundabout at Mulsanne corner in 1986 perhaps due to too many people pretending that they too were driving a Moby Dick… A new short link was constructed inside the main road leading to a new tighter Mulsanne corner slightly offset from the original In ’87 the Dunlop Chicane was added to slow cars down as they crested the hill removing the flat-out blast up and over the hill that had been in place for the previous 60 years Although chicanes are never really that welcome the Dunlop Chicane makes for great spectating: the uphill entrance has a difficult camber through its braking and turning phase The most controversial change since the removal of Maison Blanche came in 1990 when two chicanes were inserted into Hunaudières due to an FIA directive on the maximum length allowed for straights This split Hunaudières into three sections and transferred the honour of being the fastest part of the track from Hunaudières to the run from Mulsanne to Indianapolis previously something that seemed like a relatively short blast after the flat-out eternity of Hunaudières The Mulsanne Kink after the second chicane now opens out onto a liposuctioned Hump reduced in height after the flying Mercedes of ’99 The final major change was the creation in 2001 of a sweeping S-curve on the run down from Dunlop to the Forest Esses removing the classic sunset shot of the original arrow-straight descent under the Dunlop Bridge The main reason for this change was to ease the entry from this section into the interior Bugatti circuit which had been causing particular problems for bikes but it’s difficult not to lament the loss of the classic high-speed run down into the Forest Esses Tertre Rouge has been smoothed out to create a longer more flowing entry onto the Hunaudières straight is another part that has remained constant The current track weighs in at a healthy 13.629km with the fastest prototypes putting in laps under the three and a half minute mark and the GTE cars under four minutes the general line of today’s track is a good 80 years old: proof that if something works you should leave it alone Le Mans has been the proving ground for cars for almost 90 years: manufacturers still queue up to compete at the race and the track has witnessed the mutation of sportscars and their aerodynamics from the solid-front upright bolides of the 20s to the streamlined racers of the ’60s and and the sci-flyers of today The race has always provided a mix of challenges that have provided a platform for innovation: cars must achieve as much speed as possible on the straights but also make it through the twisty sections like the Porsche Curves – and now also the chicanes That means brakes are as important as top speed: lovely though it is to cruise along at maximum velocity it’s also nice to know that you’ll be able to stop come the next corner Jaguar introduced disk brakes at Le Mans in 1953; Mercedes used an air brake on their 300 SLR of 1955 and modern carbon brakes provide stopping power that could only previously have been dreamed of: cars now seem to touch the brakes impossibly late for corners Because the rules for the race have been mostly jealously guarded by the local racing club organiser the Automobile Club De L’Ouest rather than dictated to by international bodies the 24 Hours has also seen an incredible amount of innovation: superchargers bio-ethanol and now hybrid electric racers and Deltawings Speedhunters at the 2012 Le Mans 24 Hours Full results of the 24 Hours Mazda 787B, the one and only Japanese make to ever win it!!! http://youtu.be/81zhOQ5PvaE Very good article detailing the changes to the track - thankyou Re Porsche 917 - its an article about the track not the cars...so photos represent that and the cars are what they are.. it is because of Le Mans focus on new innovation that really brings out that competitive spirit of the manufactures and drivers I love seeing all the new technologies getting pushed to the limit refining that tech and making a better version for the next race Real shame Mazda are returning with a diesel...  @Pete the perfect pilot Would be cool if it was a two stroke "Speed Merchants"  also as some nice footage
