English to Italian translations [PRO]
Architecture
English term or phrase: gills
From this distortion, each neighbourhood is represented by large perforated aluminium segments, placed in different planes on the base form, creating gills or joints between each of them.
The river Turia is the central theme that brings the neighbourhoods together, winding through the building irregularly, and breaking the symmetry of the net form.

fenditure
Explanation:
... fenditure o raccordi...

Traduzione un po' libera, dedotta da uno dei significati di "gill" > forra, gola.
Potrebbe avere un senso se l'architettura in oggetto (una foto aiuterebbe parecchio) presenta una superficie che riflette la realtà circostante distorcendola anche attraverso il ricorso a "tagli" e "giunzioni" del metallo di copertura.

come branchie / forma di branchie


Explanation:
This use of the word gills for a building in Australia is use to indicate a structure which looks precisely like the gills of a fish. Something like "nella forma di branchie" or "come branchie" would probably be best in the translation.
