La Défense
La Défense es un moderno barrio de negocios situado al oeste de París, como prolongación del “axe historique” (eje histórico) que comienza en el Louvre y prosigue por la avenida de los Campos Elíseos, el Arco de Triunfo, y hasta el puente de Neuilly y el Arco de la Defensa o Grande Arche. Se extiende sobre los municipios de Puteaux, Courbevoie y Nanterre (todos en el departamento de Hauts-de-Seine). Este distrito se compone esencialmente de rascacielos de oficinas, conectados por una inmensa explanada peatonal (Le Parvis) de 31 hectáreas. Los jardines colgantes y sesenta obras de arte hacen de él un verdadero museo al aire libre y un paseo muy apreciado por las personas que viven o trabajan allí. Junto con la City de Londres, son los dos distritos de negocios más importante de Europa. Los habitantes de La Défense y los que trabajan allí se llaman “Défensois”.
Eregida al principio de la década de 1960, La Defense es mayoritariamente constituida por inmuebles de gran altura reagrupando principalmente oficinas, sumando unos 3 millones de metros cuadrados. La Defensa es aun así un barrio mixto: posee cerca de 600.000 m² de vivienda y la apertura del centro comercial Les Quatre-temps en 1981 hizo de La Defensa un polo comercial en la región de la Isla de Francia. En 2009 el barrio contaba con 2500 empresas, con alrededor de 180.000 empleados y 20.000 habitantes repartidos en 71 torres.
Actualmente su torre más alta es la Torre First.

La tour Coupole Total devait être au départ la sœur jumelle de la tour Areva. Elle sera construite près de 10 ans plus tard avec un objectif clair : augmenter les surfaces de bureaux éclairés en premier jour. Pour se faire, les architectes décomposent les volumes. L'ensemble se distingue alors par une dispositon dite "en jeu d'orgues" composée d'éléments tubulaires polygonaux et d'échelles différentes. La façade présente un système poteaux-poutres clôturés par près de 53 000 m² de mur-rideau.
L'éclairage en premier jour de tous les bureaux est assuré par la disposition de quelques uns autour des halls d'entrée couverts, diminuant au passage les pertes d'énergie.
Avec cette structure, la tour Coupole Total obtient en 1986 le prix d'aménagement de l'espace de travail.

Fieseler Fi 156 "Storch" (= "stork" - look at these legs 😁) "EA+WD" on display at the Flugwerft Schleißheim, an outpost of the Deutsches Museum dedicated to aeronautics and the history of Schleißheim airfield.
This particular airplane was built up from parts of several airplanes and is fully airworthy, registered as D-EAWD.
The Fi 156 was a liaison and reconnaissance aircraft designed by Fieseler and produced mainly at the Fieseler Factory in Kassel, Germany, but in 1942 additional production started in the Morane-Saulnier factory at Puteaux in France. At Morane-Saulnier production continued after the war as MS.500 series (MS.500, 501, until 505 with different engines).
This STOL aircraft had wings that could be folded backwards for road transport. It was also known for its very low stall speed of only 50 km/h (27 kt), which meant at enough headwind it could take off and land vertically or even move backwards in the air.
It was powered by an Argus As 10C inverted V8 engine - the 4 left side cylinder head covers are visible in this picture.
Power output of this engine was as follows:
240 PS (237 hp; 177 kW) at 2,000 rpm (5 minutes, takeoff)
220 PS (217 hp; 162 kW) at 1,940 rpm (30 minutes, "emergency")
200 PS (197 hp; 147 kW) at 1,890 rpm (max continuous, "cruise")
The aircraft became well known to the general public in 1946, when two "Storch" of the Swiss Flugwaffe were used to rescue the survivors of an USAF C-53 Skytrooper that got lost and crashed in the Swiss alps.

Building named after František Kupka.
František Kupka (23 September 1871 – 24 June 1957), also known as Frank Kupka or François Kupka,[1] was a Czech painter and graphic artist. He was a pioneer and co-founder of the early phases of the abstract art movement and Orphic Cubism (Orphism).[2] Kupka's abstract works arose from a base of realism, but later evolved into pure abstract art.
Education
František Kupka was born in Opočno (eastern Bohemia) in Austria-Hungary in 1871. From 1889 to 1892, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. At this time, he painted historical and patriotic themes. Kupka enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he concentrated on symbolic and allegorical subjects. He was influenced by the painter and social reformer Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach (1851–1913) and his naturistic life-style. Kupka exhibited at the Kunstverein, Vienna, in 1894. His involvement with theosophy and Eastern philosophy dates from this period. By spring 1894, Kupka had settled in Paris; there he attended the Académie Julian briefly and then studied with Jean-Pierre Laurens at the École des Beaux-Arts.[4][5]
World War I
Kupka served as a volunteer in the First World War, and is mentioned in La Main coupée by Blaise Cendrars. Cendrars describes him as a "proud soldier, calm, placid, strong"... but really too old to be a soldier, being at least 25 years older than the rest. When the regiment set out from Paris for the front in Picardy (they marched all the way on foot) Mme Kupka met the column as they arrived at the La Défense roundabout, near where they lived. She marched with them, carrying her husband's bag and his rifle. She would have marched all the way to the front, but at the end of the first day the colonel had her arrested and sent back to Paris. She later made her way to the front lines to spend time with her husband. Kupka himself left the front due to frostbite in the foot, caused by nights in the trenches waist-deep in freezing water.[6]
Career
Amorpha, Fugue en deux couleurs (Fugue in Two Colors), oil on canvas, 210 × 200 cm, 1912, Narodni Galerie
Kupka worked as an illustrator of books and posters and, during his early years in Paris, became known for his satirical drawings for newspapers and magazines. In 1906, he settled in Puteaux, a suburb of Paris, and that same year exhibited for the first time at the Salon d'Automne. Kupka was deeply impressed by the first Futurist Manifesto, published in 1909 in Le Figaro. Kupka's 1909 painting Piano Keyboard/Lake marked a break in his representational style. His work became increasingly abstract around 1910–11, reflecting his theories of motion, color, and the relationship between music and painting (orphism). In 1911, he attended meetings of the Puteaux Group (Section d'Or). In 1912, he exhibited his Amorpha. Fugue à deux couleurs, at the Salon des Indépendants in the Cubist room, although he did not wish to be identified with any movement. Creation in the Plastic Arts, a book Kupka completed in 1913, was published in Prague in 1923.[7]
The Salon d'Automne of 1912, held in Paris at the Grand Palais from 1 October to 8 November. Kupka's Fugue in Two Colors is exhibited on the left. Other works are shown by Jean Metzinger (Dancer in a Café), Joseph Csaky (Groupe de femmes), Francis Picabia (La Source), Amedeo Modigliani (sculptures) and Henri Le Fauconnier (Mountaineers Attacked by Bears).
In 1931, he was a founding member of Abstraction-Création. In 1936, his work was included in the exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and in an important show with another Czech painter, Alphonse Mucha, at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. A retrospective of his work took place at the Galerie Mánes in Prague in 1946. The same year, Kupka participated in the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, where he continued to exhibit regularly until his death. During the early 1950s, he gained general recognition and had several solo shows in New York.
Between 1919 and 1938 Kupka was financially supported by his good friend, art collector and industrialist Jindřich Waldes who accumulated a substantial collection of his art. Kupka died in 1957 in Puteaux, France.

La Défense
Die Grande Arche (deutsch „großer Bogen“) ist ein modernes Bauwerk in Gestalt eines tesseraktförmigen Triumphbogens im Hochhausviertel La Défense in der Stadt Puteaux, westlich von Paris. Dieser neue Triumphbogen trägt offiziell den Namen La Grande Arche de la Fraternité, wird in Paris häufig aber auch L’Arche de La Défense oder einfach La Grande Arche genannt. Er bildet die westliche Perspektive der sogenannten Axe historique, der Avenue, die eine Gerade bildet mit dem bekannteren Arc de Triomphe und dem Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, der sich zwischen dem Jardin des Tuileries und dem Louvre befindet.
Das Bauwerk ist jedoch nicht exakt zur Sichtachse der Axe historique ausgerichtet, sondern um 6,5 Grad aus der Achse gedreht. Diese Abweichung musste in Kauf genommen werden, da bei der Statik des Baus die dort verlaufenden Verkehrstunnel (RER, Métro und Autobahn) berücksichtigt werden mussten. Durch die leicht schräge Ansicht ergibt sich aus der Ferne eine räumlich tiefere Wirkung der Struktur, als es bei einer frontalen Ansicht der Fall wäre.
The Grande Arche (German "large bow") is a modern building in the form of a tesseraktförmigen triumphal arch in the high-rise district La Défense in the city of Puteaux, west of Paris. This new triumphal arch is officially called La Grande Arche de la Fraternité, but is often called in Paris but also L'Arche de La Défense or simply La Grande Arche. It forms the western perspective of the so-called Ax Historique, the avenue that forms a straight line with the more famous Arc de Triomphe and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, located between the Jardin des Tuileries and the Louvre.
However, the building is not aligned exactly with the visual axis of the Ax historique, but rotated by 6.5 degrees from the axis. This deviation had to be accepted because the construction of the traffic tunnels (RER, Métro and motorway) had to be taken into account. The slightly oblique view results in a spatially deeper effect of the structure from a distance than would be the case with a frontal view .
