peer agreement (net): +1faces OR façades / elevation Explanation: Explanation: It's confusing, but the following references suggest that both 'face' and 'façade' can refer to any of the four sides. They are sometimes considered to refer only to the front. If you want to emphasize the front, you can say 'frontispiece'. "Vocabulário Arquitetônico" by Sylvio de Vasconcellos (once chair professor of Brazilian Architecture at UFMG), offers the following definitions: Fachada: Frente, parte externa de um edifício; frontespício, frontaria. Frontaria: Fachada de um edifício. Parte principal da fachada. = 'frontispiece' in English. Alçado: Desenho em projeção vertical de um objeto. = 'elevation' in English. In English, 'face' and 'façade' appear to be synonymous, though some consider 'façade' to refer only to the front, as noted above. Here are some definitions: https://architecturaltrust.org/outreach/education/glossary-o... **Facade An exterior wall, or face, of a building. The front facade of a building contains the building’s main entrance, the rear facade is the building’s rear exterior wall, and the side facades are a building’s side exterior walls.** Facade - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade **A facade is generally one exterior side of a building, usually the front.** It is a foreign loan word from the French façade, which means "frontage" or "face". Building front Synonyms, Building front Antonyms | Thesaurus.com https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/building front **Synonyms for building front. forward surface. face · front · front view · frontage · frontispiece ** fron·tis·pieceDictionary result for frontispiece /ˈfrən(t)isˌpēs/Submit noun ... 2. ARCHITECTURE **the principal face of a building.** Now here's the argument in favor of 'elevation' ***An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one façade. This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building. ... Architects also use the word elevation as a synonym for façade, so the north elevation is literally the north-facing wall of the building.*** Architectural drawing - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_drawing |

| Reference: fachada = alçado Reference information: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fachada&redirect=... Fachada (também alçado ou vista) corresponde a uma das faces de uma obra arquitectónica. No desenho, o termo também é usado para se referir à vista ortogonal da própria fachada, mas que também pode ser usado num corte do próprio objeto arquitetônico. Vulgarmente a palavra é usada em referência à vista principal de um edifício, supostamente virada para a rua. Este conceito (de algo a ser trabalhado independendo da arquitetura) foi combatido pelo movimento moderno (nomeadamente pelos arquitetos ligados ao estilo internacional). |
