City of Paris Names Winning Design Team to Reimagine the Eiffel Tower Landscape Using BIM

Today, Gustafson Porter + Bowman (GP+B) was announced as the winner of a prestigious competition to revitalize the iconic Eiffel Tower's "grand site," which encompasses not only the tower itself but also the Trocadéro Gardens and the Champ de Mars. This significant announcement took place during an event held at the Paris City Hall, with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and her Deputy Mayors, Jean-Louis Missika and Jean-François Martins, presiding over the ceremony. The "grand site" stretches over 2.4 kilometers, making it one of the most cherished areas in Paris, home to landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars, and the Trocadéro Gardens across the Seine River. The image below offers a glimpse into this remarkable location. [Image description: A panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and surrounding areas, showcasing the lush greenery and architectural beauty.] Last year, Autodesk partnered with the City of Paris to develop a detailed 3D model of the entire grand site using Building Information Modeling (BIM). Collaborating with WSP and Gexpertise, we created what is now the largest urban BIM model in existence, incorporating buildings, roads, infrastructure, pedestrian zones, green spaces, and more. This comprehensive model was presented in May 2018 alongside the names of the four finalist teams: Gustafson Porter + Bowman and BIM Services; AL_A and Quatorze-ig; Agence ter and Arcadis; and KOZ Architectes. Over the past year, Autodesk provided invaluable support to these teams, offering access to simplified versions of the 3D model through Autodesk Infraworks. Workshops were also organized to facilitate internal collaboration among the teams, helping them understand the complexities of the existing site while defining effective integration strategies for the digital models. [Image description: A digital rendering of the Eiffel Tower area, showcasing intricate details and potential improvements.] Nicolas Mangon, Vice President of Business and Marketing for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) at Autodesk, expressed pride in the collaborative efforts: “Autodesk is thrilled to have supported the City of Paris and the four selected teams throughout this unique global initiative. The integration of intelligent digital models and immersive 3D visualization tools has expedited decision-making processes and minimized potential errors. The jury was able to virtually immerse themselves in the designs, enabling them to evaluate the proposed changes from a visitor’s perspective.” All four designs were revealed today via immersive experiences, allowing the City of Paris to anticipate fewer errors, enhanced clarity, and improved collaboration with the winning team. These models also facilitated the jury’s final evaluations by presenting the proposals in a unified format, providing a realistic preview of the site’s future transformation. [Image description: A photograph of the Eiffel Tower area with annotations highlighting proposed changes.] The Eiffel Tower area renovation is scheduled for completion in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics and preceding events like the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Beyond aesthetic enhancements, this revitalization aims to address critical urban challenges such as energy efficiency, green space expansion, supply networks, mobility solutions, waste management, security measures, and flood prevention. Now that the winning team has been announced, the public is encouraged to provide feedback on the design. All four concepts will be showcased at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal for a one-month exhibition. The winning team will consider public input and make adjustments accordingly before finalizing the design. Afterward, the plan will undergo rigorous analysis, simulations, and official approvals, with the goal of obtaining a building permit by early 2020 to commence the revitalization.

Optical Fiber 1-color Pyrometer

This classification includes one color infrared pyrometers which consist of lens, fiber optics and processing components. Fiber optic can bear high temperature up to 250℃ and do not need additional cooling. It has strong casing, use stainless steel lens(with air purge functions), die cast aluminum housing, protection grade is IP54. One color pyrometer determine the object temperature by receiving the sum of the narrow-band radiation energy, around(0.85~1.1)μm, emitted by the object. product detector nornally use si. Pyrometers can be widely used in metallurgical industry (wire rod, hot rolled plate,forging) and forging industry, heat treatment, induction heating, monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon,etc. SMART-F series is not only suitable for general industrial occasions of temperature measurement, but also suitable for installation in occasions with strong electromagnetic interference and high environmental temperature.
