escorzos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering
{64}La variable {65}sombra{66} no es, como hemos citado, empleada generalmente en los dibujos. Como caso particular destacaremos el empleo que de esta variable realiza el arquitecto Enrique Sánchez Sedeño (en la tercera y cuarta etapa) con un carácter no exhaustivo, sino plenamente instrumental, para resaltar volúmenes importantes, fragmentos-tipo de fachada, o escorzos.
