KIDO'Z - Safe & Fun Internet For Kids Héliotrope : le patron explique pourquoi ses murs végétaux n'ont pas marché Démarrage brillant L'air du temps est au végétal. Héliotrope s'engouffre dans un marché alors très prometteur : celui du mur végétal. La société naît en 2007, dans la pépinière d'entreprises de la Technopôle, à Belle-Beille. Concurrence de « bricoleurs » Héliotrope s'implante dans le terreau fertile du pôle végétal angevin. Marché trop fluctuant La crise passe par là. « Les murs végétalisés ne sont pas un besoin mais une envie. Idée trop en avance Le concept s'avère séduisant. Métier pas clair Les murs végétaux se trouvent à la jonction du bâtiment, des espaces verts et de la décoration. « C'est un métier nouveau et complexe. Rebondir à tout prix Laurent Heine ne veut pas rester à ce constat d'échec. « Durant ces six ans, nous avons travaillé, rencontré des gens, capitalisé de l'expérience. » Il ne s'attarde pas sur l'indisponibilité, durant quatre mois, d'une personne charnière dans la société. « Créer une entreprise, c'est une aventure humaine et cela restera toujours enrichissant.

The San Telmo Museum was originally a convent, and the team of architects in charge of the renovation worked towards respecting its primitive shapes and original looks. First opened in 1902, the building is San Sebastian’s historic reference, and now features a cutting-edge sustainable façade. Designed as a link between the urban and the natural environment and with the magnificent Urgull Mount standing behind it, the new section also holds three of the museum’s new rooms inside and has an exterior set of stairs up that lead into the wild. Inspired by the local lichen and moss proliferating on rocks, the wall features uneven angled holes allowing vegetation to grow organically and free. + San Telmo Museum + Nieto Sobejano Architects Via Plataforma Arquitectura
"Smart" Sunglasses Use LCD Technology to Block Out Glare Share on Tumblr Email When it comes to deflecting the sun’s blinding rays, even fancy polarized sunglasses don’t always cut the glare completely. A new LCD technology developed by physicist Chris Mullin , however, could result in “smart” eyewear that detects bright spots of light and darkens them accordingly. The lenses are actually LCD screens , with pixels that can be turned on and off to black out certain areas. “Our products let users see more in glare situations than ever before, because they reduce direct glare 10 to 100 times more than any other sunglasses,” says Mullin. Because fighter pilots and soldiers who see more clearly have a better tactical advantage , Mullins is currently working on a set of glare-reducing sunglasses for the military.
