Les horloges publiques sont placées dans des lieux accessibles au tout-venant pour indiquer l'heure au public. Outre l'indication de l'heure, ces horloges publiques sont souvent utilisées comme éléments décoratifs qui contribuent à l'architecture et à l'esthétique d'un bâtiment ou d'un espace public.

Qu’est-ce qu’un appareil électroménager intégrable? Un appareil est considéré comme intégrable quand, par ses dimensions et sa forme, il permet d’être tout ou en partie masqué par un habillage ou placé dans un meuble. Le but est de le voir le moins possible, voire de le rendre invisible, pour mettre en avant le style et l'esprit de la cuisine. 1, record 2, French, - appareil%20%C3%A9lectrom%C3%A9nager%20int%C3%A9grable

Planting. Planting of excellence is also systematic. It articulates and strengthens the site layout. It develops an interrelated pattern of open, closed, or semienclosed spaces, each shaped to suit its planned function. Planting extends topographical forms, enframes views and vistas, anchors freestanding buildings, and provides visual transitions from object to object and place to place. It serves as backdrop, windscreen, and sunshield. It checks winter winds. It catches and channels the summer breeze. It casts shadow and shade. It absorbs precipitation, freshens the air, and modifies climatic extremes. 1, record 16, English, - planting
