The concrete and wood forms accept the natural weathering of this highly exposed site, blasted by sun and afternoon howling winds. meander The sinuous trace of a stream channel whose length is normally equal to or greater than 1.5 times the down-valley (or straight-line) distance. During a month-long canoe trip down the length of Turkeys Meander river, Jeremy Seal rests in a tiny town big on history and hospitality that becomes one of the highlights of his journey. The intent is to nestle the occupants within the building in ways that recall the forest and valley spaces of nature. The project’s siting creates protected outdoor space and encourages meandering and exploratory movement over direct paths. The 2020 French film follows a young woman mourning the death of her daughter when shes suddenly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with outside forces. Although appearing as three separate structures in the landscape, a smooth wood-lined stairwell carves through the wings pinning them together physically, spatially and materially at the interior scale, This home’s staggered forms continue these rhythms the roof of each inspired by one. At the scale of the site, the home’s three staggered volumes extend the rhythm of the valley’s overlapping ‘spurs’, with the roof of each defined by a re-interpretation of one primary element of the natural landscape: reservoir, grassland, and rock-outcropping.Īt the scale of the home, the lower garage and bedroom wings frame the entry, creating another ‘valley’ space as if carved itself by the forces of an unseen river. Meandering rivers carved the coastal valleys surrounding this ridgeline home over millennium forming zig-zagging interlocking ‘spurs’, which draw our eye into the distance as they recede. The building’s forms draw inspiration from the valley below at three distinct scales. By adding scale, directing movement and framing views, the architectural strategy both references nature while remaining self-conscious of its own constructed nature. Even when sensitively working in pristine sites, the architectural objective is not so much to hide or mimic as to engage and enhance the natural qualities at hand. This home takes inspiration from the landscape forms of the meandering river valleys of the Marin California coastal ranges. This home’s staggered forms continue these rhythms the roof of each inspired by one element of the natural landscape: reservoir, grassland, rock-outcropping. Meanders are produced when water in the stream channel erodes the sediments of an outer bend of a streambank and deposits this and other sediment on subsequent. This type of tweeter does not beam the sound as much as other tweeter constructions like ribbon. Incised meander in the Tarn River, Sant Chely du Tarn, France (Source: Wikipedia).Meandering rivers carved the coastal valleys surrounding this ridgeline home over millennium forming zig-zagging interlocking ‘spurs’, which draw our eye into the distance as they recede. The Meander drivers, cross over and baffle angle have been chosen cafefully to deliver a room filling sound with minimal changes in the frequancy response with listening position: The tweeter that is used in the Meander is a so called dome tweeter. They can be due to a fall in sea level or tectonic uplift. They formed as the river cut down its bed into the bedrock. Incised or entrenched meanders: they are found in narrow, steep valleys.
#The meander free
Free meanders: they form where the gradient is gentle, in wide river floodplains, which allow for large meander amplitude.įree meander in the Cuckmere River in England (Source: Wikipedia).The abandoned meander creates a body of water known as an oxbow lake. Abandoned meanders can form during a flood or when the river cannot carry excess sediment through the bend, so the river finds a new path to flow. Over time, the ends of the curve formed by the meander become very close together and the meander is cut off and abandoned (abandoned or cutoff meander). Meanders change position by eroding sideways and slightly downstream. In addition, it depends on other variables such as the lithology of the river margins, the discharge, whether there is a floodplain or not, etc. Meanders move over time through simultaneous processes of erosion and sedimentation.
