Two 9- and 6-story residential buildings, which include 56 units in total, are the first in France to be certified passive at the height of 9 stories. They are located in seismic zone 4, in the heart of Grenoble’s Flaubert eco-neighborhood. The buildings, constructed with 52,972 ft3 of zinc-coated wood, are both an architectural masterpiece and an innovative achievement to inspire housing sustainability for the next decade.
The removable grandstands are surrounded on three sides by precast seating risers in the north endzone of the Los Angeles Football club soccer stadium. The grandstands are a free-standing system. The system is comprised of aluminum trusses, which are demountable from aluminum towers.
The engineering office Études Techniques Lyonnaises was commissioned with the structural design of the foundations for a new unloading area of an industrial site in the department of Isère, France.
The new unloading area consists of a steel structure built on a foundation plate. The total area is divided into two parts: a traffic and unloading area for rail vehicles, and an area with a pit and a traffic zone for lift trucks.
