Coleman bridge
Double-swing-span
Unique building techniques
Bridges are interesting from all angles.
“The two center swing spans are 500 foot long cantilevered trusses, while the remaining portions are plate girder spans varying in height from 27 to 40 feet. The substructure contains six river piers, the longest of which is 100 ft. deep, that are founded on hollow caissons which spread loads across the soft marl of the riverbed.” – Scott M. Kozel
Physical notion
Applied mathematics
Reconstruction
A complex layering of geometrical relationships.
“You don’t see something until you have the right metaphor to let you perceive it.” – James Gleick
Experimentation
Expression
Freedom
Beach houses offer their own unique form and function.
“What the people are within, the buildings express without.” – Louis Sullivan
River bridge
Homogeneous
Relations
Walking on a long suspension pedestrian bridge hanging from a larger highway bridge is remarkable.
“Every event extends over other events which are parts of itself, and every event is extended over by other events of which it is part.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Leaf surface
Irregular lumps
Verrucose texture
Here is an example of a tuberculate leaf surface, bearing small rounded bumpy protuberances which interact with light quality and quantity reflected.
“Rugose surfaces can be: scaly and flaky with fragile projections and coatings; warty and bumpy with small rounded projections; point-covered with small pointed projections; or, wrinkled with undulations of repeating ridges and valleys.” – Kim D. Coder

Available footprint
Squeeze in
A visually interesting structure is built on a triangular sliver of land making a thoroughly unpractical beach house.
“Each of us seems to have a main focus, a particular idea of practicality – a concept of ‘what we want out of life’ against which we judge our experiences.” – Jane Roberts
Drive in
Days bygone
Passed away
A drive by shot of a now lost landmark.
“History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness.” – James Fenimore Cooper

Landmark junction
The Wheel Inn Drive-In was built in 1947 at the intersection of Highways 50 and 65 in Sedalia and closed permanently in September 2007.
“It’s something I think that Sedalia has grown with. And Wheel Inn has always been a part of Sedalia as long as I can remember.” – Judy Clark
