Sideveis

Sideveis is a term that originates from the Dutch language, where it means "sideways" or "at an angle." The term has been adopted into various languages and contexts, often referring to something that is not straight or vertical. In a more general sense, "sideveis" can describe a position, direction, or orientation that is not perpendicular to a reference line or plane.

In architecture and engineering, "sideveis" might refer to the orientation of a building or structure that is not aligned with the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west). This can be done for aesthetic reasons, to optimize natural light, or to align with the terrain.

In navigation, "sideveis" can describe a course that is not directly towards the destination, often used to avoid obstacles or to take advantage of favorable winds or currents.

In sports, particularly in sailing, "sideveis" refers to a maneuver where the boat is turned to face the wind at an angle, allowing the sails to catch the wind more effectively.

The term "sideveis" is also used in art and design to describe works that are not aligned with traditional perspectives or orientations, often creating a sense of movement or dynamism.
