Abstract

S’il est aujourd’hui courant de discuter de l’efficacité énergétique de sa maison, il reste nettement moins facile d’évaluer le confort qu’elle procure. Essentiel dans tous les aspects de notre vie, le confort est à l’origine de l’existence même de nos bâtiments : sans besoin de confort, pas besoin de maison. Nous avons tendance à penser qu’être confortable consiste à être à l’aise. Mais c’est bien plus que cela. Imaginez-vous installé dans une pièce bien éclairée avec des luminaires, dont la température est stable à 21°C, avec renouvellement d’air, mais sans bruit, et décorée à votre goût… mais sans fenêtre. Combien de temps serez-vous «à l’aise» dans un tel espace ?

Le Corbusier

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (6 October 1887 - 27 August 1965), known as Le Corbusier (UKlə_kɔːrˈbjuːzieɪ , USlə_ˌkɔːrbuːˈzjeɪ,_-ˈsjeɪ , lə kɔʁbyzje), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner and writer, who was one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, in which he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, as well as North and South America.

Antoine Lavoisier

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (UKlæˈvwʌzieɪ , USləˈvwɑːzieɪ ; ɑ̃twan lɔʁɑ̃ də lavwazje; 26 August 1743 8 May 1794), also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution, was a French nobleman and chemist who was central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and who had a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology. It is generally accepted that Lavoisier's great accomplishments in chemistry stem largely from his changing the science from a qualitative to a quantitative one.

Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris (nɔtʁ(ə) dam də paʁi; meaning "Our Lady of Paris"), referred to simply as Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité (an island in the Seine River), in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Several attributes set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style, particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration.
