KONE ranked as one of the World’s most innovative company

For the second year running, KONE has been ranked among the top 50 most innovative companies in the world by the U.S.-based business magazine Fornes. KONE is one of two engineering services sector companies that reached the top 50, and remains the only elevator and escalator company ever to have made it to the top 50.

Forbes magazine’s ranking is based on a metric called the “Innovation Premium”. It is a grade bestowed by Forbes upon a company as a measure of the premium the stock market has placed on the value of the company due to expectations of future innovative products, services, and new markets that will generate even larger income streams.

As the Forbes ranking shows. Innovation is one of KONE’s key success factors.

“KONE is a pioneer within the elevator and escalator industry. We continuously look for opportunities to develop our products, services and processes in order to deliver a better customer and user experience and to improve our performance in eco- efficiency”, said Mr. Neeraj Sharma, Managing Director, KONE India.

KONE’s innovations are setting a benchmark for the whole elevator and escalator industry. In June 2012 the company launches its new volume elevator offering that will serve the buildings and cities of the future with leading eco-efficient performance, premium ride comfort, award-winning design, and improved space efficiency.

With KONE’s solutions, the carbon footprint of buildings can be cut down to an even greater extent. The new KONE Mono Space elevators are up to 35 percent more energy efficient than KONE’s previous industry- leading elevator platform.

CONTEMPORARY CITY FOR THREE MILLION INHABITANTS

Urban design by Le Corbusier, 1922 Exhibited in 1922 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, the Contem-porary City for Three Million Inhabitants was Le Corbusier’s first comprehensive urban-planning project. Accompanied by a 100-square-meter diorama, it consisted of a rigidly geometric, centralized orthogonal plan with monumental axes, uniform modern buildings, vast expanses of open space covering 85 to 95 percent of the surface, and a system of highways. The project was seen simultaneously as a breathtaking modern vision and as the destruction of the familiar urban setting. Influence on the project ranged from American gridded cities, Peter Behrens’ work, and Tony Garnier’s Une Cité industrielle (1901–04, 1917; An Industrial Town) to Bruno Taut’s Utopian Die Stadtkrone (1919; The City Crown). By 1922 Le Corbusier was one of the major figures of the Modern movement, and the Contemporary City marked a high point in a period of extraordinary activity. It incorporated two ideas that he had been...

DOM-INO HOUSES

Housing design by Le Corbusier, 1914–15 and later Between 1914 and 1915, Le Corbusier, partly encouraged by his friend Max du Bois, conceived of a standardized system of construction using reinforced concrete, which was to provide the structural basis of most of his houses through the mid-1930s. These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses. Derived from the Hennebique frame, it consisted of six thin concrete columns that simply carried two horizontal slabs as the floors. The columns and slabs were connected by staircases. Apart from this structural core of the houses, nothing else was fixed, thus permitting a great flexibility to suit demands on the basis of aesthetics, climate, composition, or view. The floor plan was also extremely flexible, as interior partitions were independent of the grid. This utterly simple and clear “open plan” method did away with load-carrying walls. Suppor...
