Discussion about a building to be pulled down in the 1930's in Germany, because:
Dieses Gebaeude nimmt den umliegenden Haeusern die nach den heutigen Grundsaetzen des Staedtebaues unbedingt notwendige Hofflaeche weg.
I think I understand what is meant, a sort of space where the houses might have a yard - might there be a term in urban planning or architecture that covers it exactly? Is it derived from the meaning of Hof as a halo, a 'surround space'?
Thank you.
