Tech/Engineering - Architecture
Spanish term or phrase: artesa a par y nudillo
Estoy traduciendo una hoja de vida de un arquitecto. En la sección donde él describe su experiencia laboral, se encuentra el término que detallaré a coordinación con la frase en la que viene inmerso / I am translating an Architect's CV. In the work experience section, he writes the term that I will show below with the sentence where it is contained:

"Arquitecto diseñador y a cargo del projecto de restauración de la cubierta de Estilo Colonial, denominada de artesa a par y nudillo del Siglo XVIII,..."

Tengo todo el resto de la oración excepto por el termino que he referido anteriormente. Agradezco la ayuda que me puedan prestar / I already have the whole sentence except for that term that I have already mentioned before. I appreciate any help.

coffered "par y nudillo" ceiling
Explanation:
An earlier proz entry gives a very in-depth description. "par y nudo" is very often left untranslated as it has no real equivalent in English architecture. It is often described by the term noted in this proz entry. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/architecture/10...
