facade
(redirected from Fachada)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Financial, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
facade (fəsäd`), exterior face or wall of a building. The term implies ordered placement of its openings and other features and thus seems inapplicable to a wall without design. Any freestanding structure may have four or more facades, designated by their orientation (e.g., north facade); a building flanked by other buildings on either side generally has only a front and a rear facade. In medieval churches the chief facade is that of the building's west end, which contains the principal entrance portals.
facade [fə′säd]
(architecture)
The front of a building or a face of a building, given special architectural treatment.
façade
The exterior face of a building which is the architectural front, sometimes distinguished from the other faces by elaboration of architectural or ornamental details.

Este suceso habia ocurrido anos atras, y ahora las montanas de escombros, que nadie se habia molestado en retirar, y los restos de antiguas viviendas, que aun podian distinguirse en la unica fachada incolumne del bloque, producian un efecto violento y sepulcral.
