Tech/Engineering - Architecture | | German term or phrase: Ausnahme | Quite hard to explain the context in briefly, but fortunately the source text is here http://tinyurl.com/5sk2dc.
The word "Ausnahme" is use in isolation as a caption to a 3-D architectural drawing that shows only the vague outline shape of the buildings. On top of this have been sketched a few hand drawn lines, and there is an inset showing more detail. Probably best to look at the picture!
Thanks in advance,
Stephen |

| | extract / (enlarged) detail | Explanation:
I am only speculating here, but couldn't this be just a visualisation in greater detail TAKEN OUT of the overall arrangement/framework shown above under "Masterplan" (in the sense of "HERausnahme")? This usage might also be a Swiss peculiarity. - I see too little detail to be sure about the "recess" proposed by Johannes.
Deserves checking with client. |

| Notes to answerer
Asker: I was thinking along similar lines, but I was confused by the 'hand drawn' lines. Really not sure what they are trying to show! I will certainly check with the client.

| Detail
Explanation:
Well, to say the least the English is lousy. And why/how come are there a couple of German words in there? Personally, I think "Ausnahme" should be "Ausschnitt". Try "Detail."
| | Notes to answerer
Asker: I agree, the existing English is poor. I am not sure why English is used on the diagrams and the rest written in German, students trying to give it a trendy look?
