Tribuna

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
Hola: me gustaría saber cómo se traduce el término "tribuna" al inglés en el siguiente contexto:

La volumetria del edificio se basa en la tribuna, elemento que se repite constantemente en la arquitectura barcelonesa y que permite un suave giro del edificio a lo largo del chaflán.

Gracias

patransword Jan 29:
I'm thinking the writer wants to say that these windows snake around the building's façade.
philgoddard Jan 29:
Assuming patransword's answer is correct, I wonder what they mean by 'que permite un suave giro del edificio a lo largo del chaflán.'
philgoddard Jan 29:
There are no relevant glossary entries.
Here's 'chaflán':

And I don't know if this picture is relevant:

I wonder if it's a balcony, as in this picture and definition 7 here:

bay window

I think it's referring to the fabulous bay windows on lots of buildings in Barcelona, especially Eixample.

Last definition.

I'd go for bay window. Covered/enclosed balcony also possible.

As Phil has stated - if they're curved, go for "bow windows".
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : If they're curved rather than straight, they're called bow windows. If you want your references to be clickable, you have to delete the 's' from 'https'. This bug has been around forever and hasn't been fixed.
