<p>LO SPETTACOLO E' DALL'ALTO<br />

Dall’alto dei suoi 70 metri di altezza, la ruota panoramica Grande Roue di Place de la Concorde sovrasta Parigi regalando uno spettacolo unico ai turisti che ogni giorno visitano la splendida capitale francese. La ruota, con un diametro iniziale di 100 metri, era stata originariamente creata nel 1900, ma già 21 anni dopo le sue navette erano state prese dai commercianti ed utilizzate per le loro vendite.<br />
La costruzione aveva poi visto la sua definitiva fine nel 1937, quando era stata smantellata per recuperare il metallo. Molti anni dopo, per la precisione nel 1993, è stato avviato il progetto per la costruzione della ruota panoramica. Progetto che è stato poi emulato da più di altre 100 città in tutto il mondo.<br />

<p>The Mitsubishi SpaceJet is one struggling aircraft. The first flight of the type was in 2015, but since then, the deliveries have been delayed and delayed. Just before Paris Air Show 2019, the aircraft was called MRJ-90 (Mitsubishi Regional Jet carrying 90 pax) and was renamed SpaceJet for the International Air Show.<br />
For now the aircraft has received about 200 orders, but it is yet unsure if the SpaceJet will commercially fly one day. Let's hope it will!</p>

<p>Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, France.<br />
<br />
La Sainte-Chapelle, también denominada capilla real de la Île de la Cité, es un templo gótico situado en la Isla de la Cité, en el centro de la ciudad de París, Francia. Está considerada una de las obras cumbre del periodo radiante de la arquitectura gótica. Fue construida para albergar las reliquias adquiridas por el rey San Luis de Francia, por lo que ha sido considerada como un enorme relicario. Gracias a las innovaciones del sistema constructivo gótico, prácticamente carece de soportes murales (paredes) existiendo en su lugar multitud de vanos que filtran la luz a través de las vidrieras policromadas. <br />
<br />
El proyecto se debe, probablemente, a Pierre de Montreuil que la edificó en un corto período: de 1242 a 1248. Este edificio es una obra maestra del gótico radiante, al punto que algunos consideran que señala el apogeo de este arte. Concebida como un joyero destinado a contener reliquias debía servir, también, como capilla real construida dentro del mismo palacio, en la Isla de la Cité. Se superponen en ella dos capillas, la inferior para la gente común, y la superior para la corte del rey, como era costumbre en las construcciones de los palacios reales de la Edad Media. En principio, no se podía acceder a la capilla alta más que por medio de las galerías superiores del palacio ya que no se contempló la construcción de una escalera exterior. <br />
<br />
La capilla baja, dedicada a la Virgen, accesible para la gente común y al servicio de palacio soporta la capilla alta (o superior).<br />
<br />
El techo, sostenido por infinidad de columnas soporta el peso de todo el edificio; la capilla baja se construyó por su utilidad funcional y arquitectónica ya que permitió aliviar al máximo la construcción de la capilla alta y soportar todo el peso de la misma. Esta parte tiene planta de salón con tres naves; la del centro más grande; de detallada decoración policromada. La superior tiene una nave de 20 m de altura. Sobre cada pilastra se levanta la estatua de un apóstol. La esbeltez de las cortas columnas hace que la bóveda parezca más ligera.<br />
<br />
Desde el punto de vista decorativo, se distinguen dos tipos de columnas en la Capilla Baja: las columnas azules decoradas con flores de lis, símbolo de la realeza francesa, y las columnas rojas decoradas con castillos de oro, símbolo de Castilla, por ser Luis IX hijo de Blanca de Castilla. <br />
<br />
Las paredes de la capilla alta fueron prácticamente suprimidas, reemplazándolas por altos ventanales que dejan pasar la luz. Las vidrieras representan escenas religiosas. Fueron diseñadas situando a los personajes reales según sus cargos, así las que representan al rey David o al rey Salomón están situados cerca del rey.<br />
<br />
Las vidrieras constituyen un conjunto homogéneo; los colores dominantes son el azul, el rojo y el amarillo que dan, a la capilla, un colorido muy característico.<br />
<br />
Las ventanas de la nave, de 15,35 metros de alto, por 4,70 metros de ancho, están divididas por cuatro ojivas, encima de las cuales hay un rosetón de 6 lóbulos y 2 cuatrilóbulos (elemento en forma de trébol de cuatro hojas). Las ventanas del ábside de 13,45 metros de alto, por 2,10 de ancho, sólo tienen dos ojivas y 3 trilóbulos (elemento en forma de trébol).<br />

The Sainte-Chapelle, also known as the royal chapel of the Île de la Cité, is a Gothic temple located on the Ile de la Cité, in the center of the city of Paris, France. It is considered one of the masterpieces of the radiant period of Gothic architecture. It was built to house the relics acquired by King Saint Louis of France, which is why it has been considered a huge reliquary. Thanks to the innovations of the Gothic construction system, it practically lacks wall supports (walls), with a multitude of openings instead that filter the light through the polychrome stained glass windows.<br />
<br />
The project is probably due to Pierre de Montreuil who built it in a short period: from 1242 to 1248. This building is a radiant Gothic masterpiece, to the extent that some consider it to mark the heyday of this art. Conceived as a jeweler destined to contain relics, it should also serve as a royal chapel built within the same palace, on the Ile de la Cité. Two chapels are superimposed on it, the lower one for the common people, and the upper one for the king's court, as was customary in the constructions of royal palaces in the Middle Ages. In principle, the upper chapel could not be accessed other than through the upper galleries of the palace since the construction of an external staircase was not contemplated.<br />
<br />
The lower chapel, dedicated to the Virgin, accessible to common people and to the palace service, supports the upper (or upper) chapel.<br />
<br />
The roof, supported by countless columns, supports the weight of the entire building; the low chapel was built for its functional and architectural utility as it allowed the construction of the high chapel to be relieved as much as possible and to support its full weight. This part has a hall plan with three naves; the one in the largest center; with detailed polychrome decoration. The upper one has a nave 20 m high. On each pilaster stands the statue of an apostle. The slenderness of the short columns makes the vault appear lighter.<br />
<br />
From the decorative point of view, two types of columns are distinguished in the Lower Chapel: the blue columns decorated with lily flowers, a symbol of French royalty, and the red columns decorated with gold castles, a symbol of Castile, for being Luis IX son of Blanca de Castilla.<br />
<br />
The walls of the high chapel were practically suppressed, replacing them with high windows that let in the light. The stained glass windows depict religious scenes. They were designed placing the royal characters according to their positions, so those representing King David or King Solomon are located near the king.<br />
<br />
The stained glass windows constitute a homogeneous set; the dominant colors are blue, red and yellow, which give the chapel a very characteristic color.<br />
<br />
The windows of the nave, 15.35 meters high and 4.70 meters wide, are divided by four warheads, above which there is a 6-lobed and 2 quad-lobed rose window (element in the shape of a four-leaf clover ). The windows of the apse, 13.45 meters high, by 2.10 wide, only have two warheads and 3 trilobes (clover-shaped element).</p>
