Tech/Engineering - Architecture
English term or phrase: figure-ground
Buongiorno, il contesto è la descrizione di un edificio. Da quello che ho capito il termine "figure-ground" si riferisce a una modalità percettiva. Qualcuno sa qual è il corrispondente in italiano? Grazie anticipate.

The public building stands as an autonomous solid object inverting the typical **figure-ground** of one slice of the star-shaped plaza.
