ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

Established in December 1893, the monthly L'Usine nouvelle ("The New Factory") is one of the oldest French trade magazines. To celebrate its 125th anniversary, the magazine organized a major travelling photography exhibit that will be presented at several engineering schools in France and eventually, in 2020, at the Palais du Luxembourg—home of the French Senate in Paris.

"" brings together spectacular aerial photographs of industrial installations and infrastructure in France and abroad. And ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ is one of them.

The organizers chose a composite photo created by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ contractor Emmanuel Riche from several drone views of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site taken at dusk in December 2017. The resulting "planet"—centred on the Tokamak Building and its circular bioshield, with cranes jutting out at the "equator"—is one of the most spectacular renditions of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site, in both its artistic and its documentary approach.
