THUS we will study, this question and to examing in the various dominant ways of thinking it.
The color geography
Today, color has become widespread medium of expression in life current and proliferate at the speed of large production lines. Ready-to-wear Automotive, through the furnishings and linens, all product consumer goods industry invites the consumer to color glass.
Caused by the essential thrust of marketing, "the color of seduction", the color that sale, has become a modern sociological reality.
The press, audiovisual, street scenery, our daily environment more current carry insistent that changes color and is constantly renewed. elementary visual phenomenon, its evolution has quickly transformed our behavior unconscious.
A world away from marketing that analyzes market segmentation and the various consumer typologies (in whom we see attitudes and expectations vis-à-vis the specific color to each country) the simple observation of the color landscapes and urban architecture requires to find that emerges ambiances colors the obvious features. The light, geology, the general environment of a site are all factors that combine socio-cultural behavior of a population, resulting in what we called "The color of geography."
"It's local color" is not a new term. What is new is informed analysis of the observation made and their impact on decisions concerning color, which exert their effect on society and the environment, heritage and his culture.
The color development in the housing of the architecture is a phenomenon that arose in France in the 1960s with the emergence of large assemblies and more dramatically in the 1970s with the creation of new cities. until the beginning the century in this particular area, there was little question of color, except in few exceptions and in the monumental and sacred architecture.
Indeed, it might be urban or rural, the color of the house had itself to the most natural way, through the building materials that were found locally.
From the very ground they built the house, the basic materials fussent– they stone, earth or wood, each had their own color and texture. When the facades were covered with plaster, they adopted the harmonious coloring natural pigments based on iron oxide. The progressive development, in time and duration, village or city, helped to create a dominant color that made identity and website feature. This led arose, naturally, a sober and coherent architecture, in perfect visual match to its environment, that let the story and that the city of Siena in Italy is undoubtedly one of the examples more relevant.
A targeted strategy 2000
After rising in the inner habitat, color now reached the building facades, large equipment, factories; brief all areas of space Architectural and consequently the components of manufactured building industrially.
What now of color in the current context where the synthesis of materials, glass, plastic, metal, concrete in all categories have replaced those of the past? The globalization of production, rapid transportation, real-time communication quickly transformed the methods of design and creation of products. In focused strategy 2000, any industry, to be effective, is facing the need to combine the parameters of technology and design, the color is one of key aspects.
The colors of standard systems proliferate in the United States, Europe and Japan, all wiser and better than each other, plus now the variations of color per million allowed by the computer screens. instruments beautiful for research and color communication, the fact remains that these are just tools at the service of creation and of informed choice. each program request from the architect, the designer, or colorist, in the analysis of the site, qualities of method and sensitivity that will update the most appropriate harmonies color geography.
It was in Japan in 1961, then graduated from the Ecole Boulle and Ecole Nationale Of Decorative Arts, Jean-Philippe Lenclos follows the School of Architecture courses Fine Arts Kyoto. Deepening his research in France, he gives the lemma his theory on the concept of "color theory" according to which each place produces behavior in the field of the use of color. Participating in group or personally in various exhibitions, it is also working with urban works in component coloring blueprints. In 1978, that creates Lenclos J.-P. 3D color workshop, design office specialized in the design and implementation for environment, architecture and industrial products.
" Colours of France" in 1982 and "Geography of color," published in Tokyo decline the theoretical path of Jean-Philippe Lenclos. Within the 3D workshop Color, the application of its creed consists of the color in the service of heritage, architectural space and the living environment. The spirit: return messages past by finding the color quality of the traditional, valuing the image corporate, defense of local color to the harmony of the landscape. In design industrial goods, it seeks to define the ranges in perfect harmony with the product design, marketing objectives and markets. In the end it is to take account a "new cultural dimension and sensitive to the perception of a product industrial . "

Conference "Sport and Human Rights"
A torn ethics
The debate was fueled in CREPS before yesterday, as part of the conference "Sports and Human rights ". Sport as a political or economic issue, subject to the rules of (The) power (s) is a reality that no one has thought of denying. The practice is not yet not that ... some people have attached themselves to remember.
This is the CREPS Lespinet that took place within the framework of the 40 events e anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first meeting organized on the theme "Sports and Human Rights". This roundtable brought together before a renowned sports assistance, MM. Jean Fabre, this Stade Toulousain, Marc Bichon CREPS and doctor of the national team ice hockey, André Dandine frame Regional Rowing and Pierre Fuster, physiotherapist at the Seoul Games. Mr Fabre emphasized in Opening the two key aspects of elite sport today: sport as an element of culture and sport show. This last aspect of competitive sports do leaves not insensitive economic and political environments; the "coloring" extra-sporty What sponsorship taints, too, the social round of number of clubs in the only perspective of professionalism that is, confession J. Fabre, "a response from others ". To conclude on this first witness, J. Fabre did not fail to remember the spirit that presides over the destinies of the great club of Toulouse, in the Stadium Toulouse is a tradition and that "a leader is the guarantor of a culture, a tradition of the ethics of a club. "
Ethics and doping ...
The problem of doping concerns, though some disciplines seem more affected others, all sports. It should be pointed out Mr. Bichon, to develop, to not to penalize athletes in the quest for medals, a real anti-doping policy that should not stop at a few top athletes (if Ben Johnson was little city by stakeholders). Alongside the career plan advocated by J. Fabre, instances Leaders should necessarily go towards the adoption of a health plan, to fight against certain shortcomings: a single anti-doping laboratory in France now. The third topic of discussion after the money and media coverage of sport, Doping concerns the politicization of sport and the boycott of problems. Some do neglect the importance and validity of the boycott against countries that violate the rights more fundamental. Certainly not among the many athletes present nor organizers of this discussion evening in cheerful rhythm, like us, believe there is a link narrow between the exercise of the sport and the sports ability to become a citizen respectful of Rights and Duties of Man.
René Cassin Exhibition Centre Alban Minville
The dignity denied
René Cassin, principal instigator of the Universal Declaration had faith in humanity. From this principle, proclaimed and co-signed by many countries, what is left today ? The UNESCO Clubs and Amnesty International, makers of the exhibition traveling, continue to carry the torch of human dignity ... A whistle in the melee…
It was forty years ago, in December 1948, was approved by the community International, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This beautiful piece inspired models of the late eighteenth th century, the main editor R. Cassin was aimed to open a new path, to preserve the human injustice, arbitrariness, intolerance. This code of 30 items was nothing less than a set of lemma universal propositions in the context of an international law based on respect for people. The hope of a new era was quickly disappointed.
At impact and euphoria, quickly succeeded among some of the signatory countries even the charter, the fear of open or non transgressions. The dispute over especially here than elsewhere, is about facts. According to Amnesty reports International, in over half of the world, people are imprisoned by crimes of opinion, women and children are tortured by government agents. The violation of these fundamental rights is daily.
Thus, according to Amnesty International officials, UNESCO Clubs and other associations of Toulouse, organizers of the 40 th anniversary, this celebration will have "nothing arrogant or triumphalist" but more than just denounce, the common tendency is to awaken everyone to become aware of the existence This text and its individual and collective responsibility to become a reality. He Rather, a resolute approach to preserve and to awaken the human treasure vigilant conscience.
Nothing less than the spirit of René Cassin and co-signers of the Declaration: "We now have a lever to lift the weight of the sins, let us make use of them ... "
