Tech/Engineering - Architecture / architecture
German term or phrase: aufgefächerte
...über drei Geschosse aufgefächerte Glasfassade des Gebäudes..

What does aufgefächert mean here? Does it simply extend over three floors of the building or is there some specific archetictural term for this??

compartmented
Explanation:
Ein Gefach is a term coming from Fachwerkbau and does have an equivalent in English; a compartment. I, therefore, would say: a compartmented glass facade extended over three storeys
