Sydney’s Living Building

In Sydney a certain building is not a basic block, it seems to be alive through its vegetation...

In Sydney, a certain building can be qualified as special. It is entirely covered by plants and at the top, dozens of mirror panels are hanging horizontally, reflecting the sunlight. The tainted glass of the windows light up the greens of the cascades of vegetation that are hanging outside, making the building look like a giant box of light and plants. Inside, an escalator is surrounded by numerous plants. On each side of these plants: mirrors reflect their shapes and colors to infinity, giving the impression of being in a large field. This is the Jean Nouvel Building.

1/Training

The training of a boxer as the goal to push himself to the limit of his body resistance. Series of stick hitting, dodging and repetition of shadow boxing are one of the main part of the “hard training”. In a second attempt, the fighter just have to practise his speed and agility, he does not have to be predictable by his opponent and close enough to move around without being touched .

 

2/ Boxing business

The richest sportsmen who ever lived is a boxer (Floyd Mayweather, 75 millions). Although, boxing became more than just a fight between two trained fighters. It is also a international event that is watch by millions of peoples on TV. It includes a lot of money for both of the fighters, with thousands of bets on the prediction of the fight. In every categories (welterweight, lightweight, heavyweight), there are titles that every fighters are trained for, and those titles bring the fighter to the top of his division.
