(1) But despite relative economy of means, the building has bold tectonic presence.(2) The Weimar Bauhaus is a tectonic expression of load bearing walls interrupted by window screens.(3) Geologists have long studied mountains for clues to Earth's tectonic history.(4) In these zones one section of the Earth's crust, called a tectonic plate, moves over or under another.(5) The house has a tectonic simplicity and an ephemeral beauty, being as light in its mass as it is in ambience.(6) A truly tectonic architecture will therefore be naturally identified with its surroundings through its choice of materials and forms responding to availability and climactic conditions.(7) This area is a good example of the interplay of tectonic and magmatic processes.(8) Even in fairly recent history the theory of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust was discounted and scorned before it could eventually be proven.(9) In this paper, we discuss the tectonic settings and magmatic processes which allow these magmas to reach the surface.(10) Secondly, if the cut and montage are essential to cinematography, so too is the tectonic essential for architecture.(11) The latter is a tectonically active environment, where modern sedimentation is overwhelming the shelf.(12) New Zealand is a very tectonically active zone.(13) This characteristic of the proposed scheme could make it suitable for less tectonically stable parts of the world provided enclaves of suitably thick crust are available.(14) This mountain is tectonically active and uplifts still occur here.(15) It is exceptionally fire-prone; has infertile soils; enjoys great biodiversity; and is tectonically stable.
