Architecture | | Spanish term or phrase: se vuelca sobre la ciudad | | Según sus propias palabras “(name of bar) es la superposición de dos astros interrumpidos por un planeta . Nosotros lo vemos como la superposición de dos “mundos”: el exterior, la ciudad, su personalidad, su movimientos, su excitación… y el interior, las personas, sus vidas, sus historias, sus deseos, sus ilusiones… Esta superposición se manifiesta en (name of bar) por su configuración arquitectónica y por el uso de materiales reflectantes. Estas circunstancias hacen que la ciudad penetre en el bar durante todo el día y durante la noche es el bar que **se vuelca sobre la ciudad***”. |

4 mins confidence:  
23 mins confidence: erupts over the city
Explanation:
you can probably improve on this but it gives the the sense of 'throwing itself over', which is a standard translation
there's a wordreference thread here
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=836418
that suggests 'erupt' as a possible trans
and the idea of a party erupting into life is certainly possible

also a nice contrast between penetrate and erupt - still a bit tenuous, though!!
