OMG4599678: Renovation of the glass court of the Palais des Etudes des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The courtyard is an extraordinary architectural ensemble designed by Felix Duban (1798-1870) during the 1830s. In 1867, in order to protect the carving castings from the Musee du Louvre, this courtyard was covered with a glass on a metal frame which then constituted all its wealth. At the death of Felix Duban, Ernest Coquart (1831-1903) took over the construction site by covering the facades of a polychrome decor from Italian inspiration. The Palais des Etudes is an exceptional testimony of 19th century architecture. With the Cour vitree, Felix Duban completed the formidable educational program. In 1970, most of the castings were transferred to the Petite stables of the Chateau de Versailles. For its reopening in April 2009, after two years of construction, the school welcomes Giuseppe Penone's sculpture “Matrix de Seve””. It is a tree of 24 meters cut in its length and whose hollow heart is covered with seve. Photography 03/06/09. / Bridgeman Images

MPX5089417: British Aerospace and a Success Story: It's nice to be able to report a success story in Britain at a time when the world must think the U.K. is a breeding ground for failure. At British Aerospace, the HS 125 executive jet has been carving out a brilliant track record, taking 36% of the American market for medium class jets, selling at £2,500,0000 each with a wide variety of modifications to suit the individual buyer, such as showers, beds and TV sets to accompany the telephones and plush fittings. Super salesmen fly over 100,000 miles a year in search of buyers and provide the 72,000 workforce spread throughtout Britain with a healthy £3,000 million order book. 471 of them have been sold already to European, Arab and overseas companies by men who will fly a prospective customer into the desert and land on soft sand to prove the quality of both the 125 and its bigger brother, a 52 seater which sells for £3 million.
