  • Basin Bülteni
    PEUGEOT KONSEPT OTOMOBİLLERİ BASIN BÜLTENİ PEUGEOT KONSEPT OTOMOBİLLERİ Tarihçe 210 yıllık geçmişiyle, konsept otomobiller Peugeot'nun DNA'sını besliyor. Konsept otomobil olarak kabul edilen ilk çalışma 1984'te ortaya çıktı: Peugeot Quasar. Marka, teknolojik mükemmelliği yaratmakla görevlendirdiği mühendislere ve tasarımcılara ilk kez herhangi bir endüstriyel kısıtlama olmaksızın bir açık çek verdi. O yıllarda tasarımcı olan Gérard Welter, Eric Berthet'in taslağına uygun olarak gövdeyi tasarladı. Gérard Welter, Peugeot 205'in tasarımının temel direklerinden biriydi ve 1998'den 2007'ye kadar markanın tasarım direktörü olarak görev yaptı. O yıllar için zamanın ötesinde olan iç mekanı Paul Bracq tasarladı. Şasinin altyapısı tıpkı gerektiğinde 600 HP’ye kadar güç üretebilen motor gibi 205 Turbo 16’dan alındı. Aşağıdaki konsept otomobiller her zaman motorsporları ile bir bağa sahipti ki Gérard Welter buna çok önem veriyordu. Diğer birçok örnek gibi Goodwood Hız Festivalinde tanıtılan Peugeot Proxima, 680 HP gücünde bir çift turbo V6 motora sahipti. Benzer bir motorla donatılan Peugeot Oxya, 1988 yılında Nardo hız pistinde 350 km/s hıza ulaştı. 2010 yılında Gilles Vidal’ın atanmasıyla tasarımın yeni yönü de müjdelenmiş oldu. SR1 konsepti, Peugeot tasarımında yeni bir dönemi başlattı. 2012 yılında tanıtılan Peugeot Onyx, bakır gibi hammaddelerin kullanımı veya logonun ön ızgaradaki yeni konumunu gibi detaylarla markanın ilk tasarım manifestosu oldu. Onyx serisi bisiklet ve scooter konseptleriyle aynı zamanda markanın ilk kapsamlı ulaşım manifestosu da oldu. Bunun dışında Peugeot Sport Engineering ile geliştirilen 308 R HYBRID veya 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered konseptleri gerçek bir marka manifestosu olarak marka tarihine geçti. Bunların ikincisi, tıpkı 1999 yılında 306 faz 2, 206 CC için 20Y veya aynı isimle yollara çıkan coupe için Peugeot RCZ Concept örneğinde olduğu gibi seri üretim bir otomobil için temel oluşturdu.

  • Rammed Earth Walls in Serón De Nágima Castle (Soria, Spain): Constructive Lecture
    Rammed Earth Conservation – Mileto, Vegas & Cristini (eds) © 2012 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-62125-0 Rammed earth walls in Serón de Nágima castle (Soria, Spain): Constructive lecture I.J. Gil Crespo Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: The Raya or frontier between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón was fortified with a system of castles and walled-cities that were useful during the several conflicts that took place in the Late Medieval Age. The Serón de Nágima castle defended the communication road between the axis of the Jalón river valley, which flows into the Ebro, and Duero valley. Its uniqueness stems from the fact that it is one of the few fortifications in the area where rammed earth is the only building system used. In this paper, the castle building fundaments are exposed mainly focusing on the techniques and building proc- esses developed from the interpretation of the legible constructive signs in its walls. 1 INTRODUCTION the constructive putlog holes left in the masonry by the scaffolding we can study the systems and The Late Medieval strategy for delimitating and processes of building.

  • Dirleton Castle
    Property in Care no: 108 Designations: Scheduled Monument (SM90096), Listed Building (LB1525 Category A), Garden and Designed Landscape (GDL00136) Taken into State care: 1923 (Guardianship) Last reviewed: 2012 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE DIRLETON CASTLE We continually revise our Statements of Significance, so they may vary in length, format and level of detail. While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH DIRLETON CASTLE SYNOPSIS Dirleton Castle, in the heart of the pretty East Lothian village of that name, is one of Scotland's oldest masonry castles. Built around the middle of the 13th century, it remained a noble residence for four centuries. Three families resided there, and each has left its mark on the fabric – the de Vauxs (13th century – the cluster of towers at the SW corner), the Haliburtons (14th/15th century – the entrance gatehouse and east range) and the Ruthvens (16th century – the Ruthven Lodging, dovecot and gardens). The first recorded siege of Dirleton Castle was in 1298, during the Wars of Independence with England. The last occurred in 1650, following Oliver Cromwell’s invasion. However, Dirleton was primarily a residence of lordship, not a garrison stronghold, and the complex of buildings that we see today conveys clearly how the first castle was adapted to suit the changing needs and fancies of their successors. The castle is surrounded by eye-catching gardens. These were probably laid out by the Ruthvens but in their present state are 19th/20th-century creations, as is the bowling green.
