French renaissance
The French Renaissance began in the early 16th century as French armies brought Italian Renaissance art and styles back to France after wars in Italy. Three kings had the greatest influence on French Renaissance art: Francis I, Henry II, and Louis XIII. Francis I actively promoted the arts and invited Italian artists like da Vinci to France. Henry II's style marked the height of the French Renaissance with Italian classical influences. Louis XIII style saw Baroque influences and larger windows. Interior styles featured strapwork, scrolls, and mythological figures concentrated on floors, walls and ceilings. Furniture was carved with motifs and built solidly with Gothic structures and Italian ornamentation.
Renaissance architecture
The Renaissance architecture style originated in 15th century Italy and was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture. It emphasized symmetry, proportion, geometry and classical orders. Early architects like Brunelleschi and Alberti helped establish Renaissance styles which emphasized order and classical details. During the High Renaissance, architects like Bramante and Raphael further developed classical concepts. Mannerism introduced more imaginative rhythms as the Renaissance ideal of harmony gave way. The Renaissance style then spread across Europe in the 16th century as other regions gained economic and political power.

Renaissance Architecture
Renaissance architecture revived principles of classical antiquity through writings of Vitruvius and relics of ancient structures. Major architects like Brunelleschi, Alberti, and Palladio produced influential works applying symmetry, proportion, and geometry to buildings like churches, chapels, palaces and villas in cities such as Florence, Mantua, Venice and Rome. Michelangelo's design of the Campidoglio complex on Capitoline Hill in Rome marked the apex of Renaissance classicism.
Renaissance
The Renaissance was a period between the 14th and 17th centuries where art and intellectual thought was revived based on classical sources. It began in Italy and spread throughout Europe, flourishing in many areas including art, architecture, literature, philosophy and science. Renaissance art moved towards more realistic representations using techniques like linear perspective and studying anatomy. Architecture revived classical forms and orders like Tuscan, Doric and used domes prominently. Key characteristics of Renaissance architecture included symmetrical plans and facades, arched openings, and precision in classical details.
Bramante
Donato d'Angelo Bramante was an Italian architect and painter born in 1444 in Urbino who died in 1514 in Rome. He had talent for painting from a young age but found his true calling to be in architecture. Some of Bramante's most important architectural works included the reconstruction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome from 1503-1506, Santa Maria della Grazie in Milan from 1492-1498, and Santa Maria della Pace in Rome from 1504. He was praised by Michelangelo for his clear, simple, and beautiful style of architecture.

The Middle Ages: Feudlism
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe lacked central governments and faced constant warfare between kingdoms. As kings had no professional armies, peasants turned to local nobles for protection in exchange for their labor and submission. This led to the development of feudalism, a social system where peasants were bound to manors and obliged to work for lords, who in turn provided military service to the king. Society was divided into estates of clergy, nobles, and workers. Feudalism dominated the political and economic organization of medieval Europe.

The gardens at Ham House were designed in the style of Italian Renaissance gardens, following principles laid out by Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century. This included a central axis running from the house, crossed by perpendicular paths dividing the garden into geometric sections, meant to be viewed symmetrically from the house. French Renaissance influences are also seen, such as the cherry garden's parterres and allees of trees. The house's architecture was also designed to complement the layout of the gardens. Overall, the gardens exemplify 17th century aristocratic garden design that blended Italian symmetry with naturalistic French influences.

This document describes different types of sunspaces and how they work. An indirect-gain sunspace uses a common wall called a Trombe wall to transfer heat into the interior through conduction. An isolated-gain sunspace transfers heat through an opening in an insulated common wall using convection. On winter days, a masonry floor and walls absorb sunlight and provide heat radiation and convection. At night, shutters are lowered to reduce heat loss through glazing. In summer, heated air rises and exits through vents, while cool air circulates through the building.
Louvre contemporary
The document provides details about the Louvre Museum in Paris, including its history and renovation by architect I.M. Pei in the late 1980s. The Louvre was originally built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century and gradually expanded over centuries to become one of the largest palaces in Europe. In the 1980s renovation, Pei designed a glass pyramid at the museum's entrance to provide a modern architectural element and improve circulation. Though initially controversial, the pyramid has become an iconic part of the Louvre and helped make it the most visited art museum globally.
Solar heating and cooling system
1) The document discusses solar heating and cooling systems (SHCS), which use solar energy to provide hot water, space heating, and cooling.
2) SHCS can be either active systems that involve collectors, circulation systems, storage tanks, and controls, or passive systems that rely on building ventilation.
3) Solar cooling uses solar heat to generate chilled water for cooling buildings. Combisystems provide both heating and cooling as well as hot water.
4) SHCS have advantages over conventional methods like reduced costs, employment opportunities, and being more environmentally friendly.

Photography is a method of recording images through the action of light on a light-sensitive material. In the 5th century BC, Mo Ti observed that light could project duplicate images through a pinhole onto a dark surface, essentially writing with light. This principle was further developed with the camera obscura, a dark room used by artists and scientists by the 17th century. Ansel Adams was a pioneering 20th century photographer known for his black and white landscapes of Yosemite. He developed techniques like zone system to control light and the finished image.
Peoples and empires p2
Slavery has existed throughout much of recorded history, including ancient civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, China, India, Greece, Rome, and pre-Columbian Americas. Records show Classical Athens had as many as 80,000 slaves in the 6th-5th centuries BC. As the Roman Republic expanded, entire populations were enslaved and slaves came from across Europe and the Mediterranean, being used for labor and entertainment. Two important explorers mentioned are Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, a French admiral who explored the Pacific Ocean and established settlements in the Falkland Islands, and Captain James Cook, a British explorer, navigator and cartographer who extensively charted areas of the world for Europeans.
Peoples and empires p1
Alexander the Great was born in 356 BCE in Pella, Macedon to King Philip II of Macedon. Philip had Aristotle teach Alexander about Greek culture to prepare him to conquer Greece. Alexander created a vast empire by his early 30s through military conquests and spread Greek culture. He showed signs of megalomania and paranoia later in life. By the 1st century BCE, most of Alexander's empire had fallen under Roman control. The Romans contributed law and applied science through infrastructure but made few scientific advances. Christianity began spreading in the Roman Empire during this period.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
