The stonemasons of the Inca Empire knew nothing of cement. On the other hand, they mastered their technique to such an extent that they were able to assemble cut stone with a perfect joint, the technicality of which still impresses us today.<\/h4>\n

The largest block below, famous for its 12 angles, is around 1 m high. Laid down 7 centuries ago, it is part of a wall in the city of Cuzco, Peru.<\/h4>\n

Optimal use of space is also the aim of modern-day technicians. In contemporary buildings, putting the right piece of the jigsaw in the right place remains the priority. Because the right placement of materials and systems determines the comfort and quality of life of occupants.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

An analogy: with the right arrangement of ceiling fans, volumes of moving air will fit together as perfectly as volumes of frozen stone.<\/h4>\n

Ceiling fan layout: saving means and resources<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Why is precise adjustment of the different air mixers so important?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trop peu brasseurs d\u2019air dans un espace donn\u00e9, et le confort devient insuffisant.<\/p>\n
