The term appears in a design proposal to be submitted to an architectural competition for the renovation of a prestigious building in Brussels to be opened as a new museum. The immediate context is:
Maken van een sparing in de vloer op iedere bouwlaag. Hierdoor ontstaat een vide aan de achterzijde van de middenvleugel. Rond de sparing wordt een nieuwe raveelconstructie geplaatst om de vloerrand te ondersteunen.
