Verbiage Congratulations For Engagement
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.

White Spots On Teeth After Whitening
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.

Ovarian Cysts And Sore Breasts
in Olot, RCR
remember the authors of this place for leisure and sport: "We live in the middle of the project major confrontation between athletes on one side and environmentalists on the other. The first did not want any tree, the latter did not want any trees were knocked down. "
Olot, a small can block north of Gerona, is surrounded by a thick volcanic natural park of forests oak trees. Due to an urban planning drafted in the recent past that have not watched environmental criteria, provided for the construction of an athletics stadium in the mass of oak, a kind of very slow growth. A little more than a decade, this proposal was to create a conflict between the Sports Federation and int are environmentalists. Some demanded a running track where the race officials did not have restricted views because of trees, while others struggled against ta the oak. On the other hand, not following the rules, the Federation recognized competitions ceria as there Organizer. In response, the council asked the team of architects RCR a project that would make a mediator between the two parties.
N to ture of the Games Instead of starting
to negotiate, before drawing any lines RCR team of architects (Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta) investigated the human behavior in relation to athletics. This will directly traced to the formation of Games in ancient Greece. The first data of the Olympics is the year 776 a. C., when held at Olympia in honor of Zeus, and show that the games were held in nature. Since then and until the decree of Emperor Theodosius em I the Great, when in the year 394 AD C. abolished its conclusion, as l Olympics were characterized by a dual nature of religion and physical health. Games were, however, restored in the late nineteenth century CIAR potential physical education and follow the belief that moral and intellectual development are based on health. RCR
recovered the origin of the games in nature and proposed it to the contemporary scene and l athletics and social gathering. His first task was therefore to find the place that could establish a dialogue between the two roles designated for athletics stadium: how to create an environment where nature and sport could not be separated.
The new value of oak
The location of project set in a clearing that corresponded to two former farmland. Although both were separated by a mass of vegetation, the total erficie sup was wide enough to accommodate a 400-meter ring six tracks and facilities as annexed to the practice of athletics. If, a priori, that program was quite different from environmental claims, it was possible to trace the tracks respecting the oaks while complying with strict controls on visibility federation of the tracks.
In spite of the trees, the judges can see the output correctly and arrivals of the various competitions, which all races are monitored.
On the other hand, to see athletes appearing and disappearing among the trees is added or na amusement among the spectators that increases the suspense.
The game come and go already present from the moment in which ll ega to the forest and leave the vehicle. Without even see the stadium, the road to place c onduce visitors, putting it through sight, hearing, smell and touch, in an act that prepares us for an unusual setting. The spectators are sitting on some steps made as small banks, with blocks of basalt concrete color, which seem to form small terraces between the gaps.
A lighting towers act as ele ments who talk to the tree and set is references in the space. Meanwhile, a small piece of iron d lavender to accommodate a bar and store. The forest as a place where viewers can enjoy as much as the athletes, watching the athletics and competition, or even swimming in the river Fluvia, next to the bathroom is flag or by the same architects. This is another simple structure of iron and steel a small bar, dressing rooms, and among them, a large porch that allows trees form part of the facade.

The viewer can not give a precise answer, but you can feel identified with the place, looking at training and competition in nature, or coming to family to enjoy the tracks between the ro Blessing. Trees are also involved, playing with the wind, the seasons change, LLE gan to lose their lobed leaves silvery undersides and, in early October, filled with acorns tracks. The old oaks were the building materials used in this project and, with them, has created a new reality that reconciles environmental vision and sports visitors.
