Travertine: He taonga whare herehere nā te whenua

Te hanganga me ngā huarāhara

Ko te pūpahi, i mōhiotia hoki hei kōrere, he momo kōhatu tuanui āhua. Ko tōna hōhonutanga roa anō te wā e hangaia ai. I te rere mai o ngā wai mataara rich in calcium carbonate, ka huri te taiao, pērā i te iti haere o te pihikete, i te nui ake o te wāhi, ka noho tonu te calcium carbonate i roto i te wai. Muri i te wā roa o te whakaurunga me te whakapakari, ko ēnei matotoru ka hua ko ngā kōhatu. I te wā o te whakaurunga, nā ngā take pērā i te wehenga o ngā kiko, te pararēkau rānei, ka waiho ngā ruwaewae o ngā rahi rerekē ki roto me te mata o ngā kōhatu. Ko te wāhi noa mai o te āhua motuhake o te pūpahi.

He āhua motuhake te ahua me te mata o te tarawhiti, ā, he nui ngā tae e hāngai ana ki tēnei. Ko ngā tae e mōhiotia ana ko te pīrau, te kōwhai mā, te mā, me ētahi atu. Ka homai e ēnei tae māmā, waimarie te aronga ki te tuakana, ki te taiao hoki. Pārurea ana te rahi me te wāhi o ngā ruarua ki tōna mata; kei ětahi iti, ā, ū ana, kei ětahi he rahi ake, ā, kāore i te ū. Ka nui ake te āhua toi tēnei panonitanga a-taiao ki te tarawhiti.

Te whakamahinga o te tarawhiti ki te ao hangarau

Ko te tarawhiti tāpiri he roanga hītori o te whakamahi i te hītori whare. I ngā wā o mua, i whakamahia e ngā Rōmāna te tarawhiti tāpiri hei hanga i ētahi whare rerekē hirahira. I te whare āhuatanga o nāianei, kei te pioha tonu te tarawhiti tāpiri. Heoi anō, ka whakamahia ia mō te whakapaipai a-waho o ngā whare. Nō te mea he āhua motuhake tana āhua me ana tōpaki parurenga, ka taea e ia te tāpiri i tētahi āhua taiao, āhuatanga hirahira ki te whare. Hei tauira, ko ētahi hōtēra tikangia, pokapū hokohoko me ētahi atu whare e whakamahi ana i te tarawhiti tāpiri hei matā a-waho, kia tū ake ai ngā whare i te tāone.

He tino pai hoki te tarawhiti tāpiri mō te whakapaipai a-roto i ngā paparanga me ngā tapa. I ngā wāhi a-roto, ka taea e ngā tōpaki māmāri o te tarawhiti tāpiri te waihanga i tētahi āhuatanga parurenga, noho māmā, ā, ko ana ruwhenua taiao me ngā takotoranga ka tāpiri i tētahi āhuatanga toi me te āhua motuhake ki te wāhi. E maha ngā nohoanga tāpiri, karaehe tikangia me ētahi atu wāhi e whiriwhiri ana kia whakapaipai i ngā paparanga me ngā tapa ki te tarawhiti tāpiri, kia haukume ake te kounga me te rārangi o te wāhi.

Te tiaki me te pupuri i te tarawhiti tāpiri

No te whai mātai o te waimanawa ki te pūpahi, me tino arotake te tiaki me te whakahaere i te whakamahinga. I ngā wā katoa e pakari ana, me whakamahi āhuatanga māmā me ngā taputapu pakaru māmā. Me whakakore ngā āhuatanga he parauri ranei, he parauri ranei kia kaua ai te mata e parauri ana. Mō ngā tohu ki te mata o te travertine, me pakaru tūmatawhānui kia kaua ai ngā tohu e uru ana ki ngā ruwanganui ka uaua te tango.

Ngā āhua o te mākeke mo te travertine

Me te whakapai ake haerenga mai i ngā herekenga o te tangata mō te kounga me te pūtake o te rerekētanga o te tapa whare, ko te travertine, hei kōhatu taketake he āhua motuhake, he āhuatanga whānui te tirohanga ki te maakete. I te maakete whenua, me te āki ki te mariko o te kaupapa whakauru, kei te tipu haere te ahumahi whenua me te ahumahi tapa whare, ā, kei te piki haere hoki te inoi mō ngā matapara kounga tikangia mō te tapa whare. Ko te travertine, ki tana aroha taketake me tana uara toihau āhua motuhake, kei te pono ake te aroha o ngā kaihoko, ā, kei te whānui haere hoki tana wāhi ki te maakete. Ina tata ki te ao o te tapa whare taiponu, kei te kitea he pikinga tau i te tau te whakamahinga o te travertine.

I te mātāwai ā-ao, kua rongonui tonu te pāpaku hei tētahi o ngā kōhatu hanga whakapaipai tino rongonui. Ko Itari tētahi o ngā kaihanga me ngā kaihoko matua o te pāpaku ki te ao. Kei te pūmau tana hua pāpaku ki te mātāwai ā-ao mā te kounga tikangia me tana āhua motuhake. Mā te whakapai ake haere i te hangarau whakawhanaketanga me te tukatuka i ngā rāwekenga pāpaku o Haina, kua uru haere ngā hua pāpaku o Haina ki te mātāwai ā-ao, kua tūtohu ki te tautohe ā-ao, ā, kua riro i te wāhi pā ki te mātāwai.

Whānui, ko te pāpaku hei matū hanga tāpoi tūmatanui, kei te takotoria he tū toa ki te ao hanga mā tana aronga āhua motuhake, ōna īnanga katoa, tana whānuitanga whakamahinga, me ōna āhua ā-mātāwai. Ka whakapono ia ka whakapai ake anō ngā hangarau, ka whakapai ake anō ngā paerewa ā-tirohanga o te tangata, ka whakaatu te pāpaku i tana ahurea motuhake ki ētahi atu kaupapa hanga.
