Architecture: The house of the elephants [Norman Foster].


In order to preserve the species of larger mammals in the animal kingdom, providing a living environment more natural and relaxed, and clear visual relationship between the zoo and park, Norman Foster and Partners have designed the House of Elephants [Elephants House], located in the Copenhagen Zoo in Royal Park, next to the Palace of Fredriksberg.

Over 40 year career, Norman Foster has built buildings around the world covering all types of requirements, but this time, a unique project designed to meet the needs of some unusual customers: elephants Copenhagen Zoo. Contemporary offender, Sir Norman Foster is one of the forerunners of the current High Tech has been the creator of works as important as the headquarters of Willis, Faber and Dumas in Ipswich, Great Britain or Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation or the new terminal at Beijing airport. Over 40 years of career he has designed all types of projects: household, schools, offices, stadiums, airport terminals, museums, etc. All are characterized by the use of curves, resolved most of the time, from light-skeletal structures or membrane-coated metal and translucent ornaments Professional design. One of his most recent, also determined from these elements is a unique project called "The house of the elephants, designed to protect precisely one of the largest mammals in the animal kingdom. The elephant house is located within the Copenhagen Zoo, part of Royal Park, located next to the Palacio de Fredriksberg. This place is considered the largest cultural institution in Denmark, attracting over 1.2 million visitors a year. This book replaces a structure dating from 1914 and has provided, in addition to the preservation of this species, which is currently in danger of extinction, restore the visual relationship between the zoo and the park and give these magnificent animals a more natural and relaxed.

Construction: Concrete, translucent latest invention Mexican [Teodoro González de León, Sordo Madaleno, Cesar Pelli, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas].

is likely that in the coming years the construction of houses and buildings are carried out with a new material invented by two Mexican universities: the translucent concrete. This product allows up walls almost transparent, stronger and lighter than traditional concrete.

A revolutionary invention. Mexican civil engineers, Joel Gutiérrez-Sosa 26 years, and Sergio Galvan Omar Cáceres-25-year-created in the 2005 this revolutionary cement has the ability to be cast under water and be 30 percent lighter than concrete so far known. One of the inventors, said Sergio Galvan, translucent concrete is more aesthetic than conventional saves finishing materials [such as plaster, paint and varnish] and has the same utility. According to the sales brochure of the product, its manufacture is equal to that of regular concrete. We used white cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, fiber, water and additive whose formula is secret, known-Ilum.

"Your workmanship is equal to that of regular concrete .- In addition, this new specific objects can be introduced, lighting and pictures, as it has the virtue of being translucent to two meters thick, with no obvious distortion. This product represents a breakthrough in the construction of offshore platforms, dams, sea walls and embankments in coastal areas, because its components do not deteriorate under the water. The additive-Ilum-is unique in the world, which gives the concrete strength 15 times -4.500 kg/cm2- with no water absorption, allowing the passage of light, is translucent, has a 30 percent volume weight commercial below and can be cast under water. Currently the authors are in the process 15 applications for patent in the country at the Mexican Institute Industrial Property [GRI] and four internationally. They also seek to patent the product in Japan, China, India, USA, South America and the European Union. One of these patents, a high strength cement, was signed in joint ownership with the UAM. The relevant contract settles to the proceeds divided equally between the institution and the inventors. Students reported that the helipad of the new fire station will be built with concrete Ilum and which are already signs the contract with the authorities of the Federal District Government through the Heroic Body Donor Trust AC and Phoenix. The impact of this technological development allowed students form the translucent concrete company SLR de CV, which has been supported by the National Council of Science and Technology [Conacyt] for over a year with 7.5 million dollars for patent certifications and paperwork. The Italian cement Italcimenti has made an offer to buy the company. CONACYT has classified this project as the fourth best in the past six years in the area of \u200b\u200bScience and Technology, in addition to being the youngest program supported by the body, as well as Joel Sosa Sergio Galvan still completing their undergraduate studies.
