Wooden beams

Wooden beams

Wooden beams holding the roof for the Ticketing and Check-in hall at Gardermoen Airport (Oslo, Norway).

The main terminal building at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, completed in 1998, is the largest laminated wood structure in the world. The roof has ten pairs of wooden beams each supported by three solid columns; the secondary structure connecting the pairs of beams is partially visible through the false ceiling, which consists of a perforated metal grid. The grid allows natural light to filter in from above while also reflecting artificial light from below the false ceiling. The enormous ceiling is conceived as a form of decoration for the interior space, featuring the same colours, designs and materials as the interior of the large hall.

THE ELECTROLUX INSPIRO OVEN

Filed under: Companies,Sweden — Igor Polyakov @ 12:46 pm

Electrolux is launching a revolutionary new oven called Inspiro, the first oven that automatically determines the right way to cook a dish to consistently achieve the desired result. The way that the Inspiro manages heat is similar to the auto focus of the camera.

“With Inspiro, Electrolux has managed to transfer professional cooking techniques into consumer homes, says German top chef Christian Mittermeier. “No other oven allows you to combine top, bottom, side, and grill for one dish without having to stop and reset the oven. I use Inspiro both at home and in my restaurant kitchen and I’m amazed at the precision of the cooking. For ordinary people it will be like having a private chef at home.”
