- Axonometric — Pertaining to axonometry, regarding axonometry, or performed via axonometric projection. In technical drawing and architecture, it describes a method of three-dimensional graphical representation of an object on a single plane, keeping the geometric proportions unchanged along the three spatial coordinate axes, providing a clear and easy-to-understand structural visualization.
- Axonometry — A geometric method and technical procedure of three-dimensional graphical representation of an object on a single projection plane, by referencing it to an orthogonal system of three coordinate spatial axes. Unlike converging perspective, this type of structural organization keeps parallel lines unchanged and allows direct or proportional measurement of the object's dimensions along the axes, offering a technical visualization of superior clarity.
- Axonometru — A traditional drawing instrument, template, or specially graduated ruler used in classical drafting boards to precisely trace axonometric axes and rapidly calculate scale reductions specific to isometric or dimetric projections. In the modern digital environment, the term can describe a software tool integrated into CAD programs that automatically generates guided geometric grids on three-dimensional axes.
- Azulejos — Thin ceramic tiles, square or rectangular, glazed and decorated on one side with geometric, floral motifs, or complex figurative scenes, characteristic of traditional Spanish and, especially, Portuguese architecture. These structural elements are used to line the interior and exterior walls of palaces, churches, or houses, serving both a decorative and protective role against moisture.
- Babbage — A proper name of English origin, globally renowned due to Charles Babbage (1791–1871), a British mathematician, philosopher, and mechanical engineer, widely considered the father of computing for designing the first programmable mechanical computers: the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine. The term is used symbolically or academically as a foundational historical reference for the origins of modern computer architecture.
- Structural brace — A regional technical term formerly used in certain Carpathian areas to designate a fixing bracket, an angular structural wood or metal piece, or a short diagonal beam placed to stiffen the joint between two perpendicular pillars. Within the structure of vernacular wooden architecture, this reinforcing element absorbed shearing forces and ensured the stability of roofs or load-bearing frameworks of traditional barns and houses.
- Lath and plaster ceiling — An archaic and regional ceiling or vault construction made of plaster applied over a dense grid of wooden laths or wicker slats attached to roof beams, typical to historical Balkan and Romanian rural architecture.
- Smoke evacuation hole — An opening in the roof or wall of a traditional peasant house (especially in Danubian or Dobrojean regions) serving as a rudimentary chimney for smoke evacuation or as a small window for attic ventilation. It can also designate the chimney structure itself.
- Smoke evacuation hole — A regional feminine variant of 'bageac'; a structural opening made in the roof or wall of a traditional peasant house, serving as a rudimentary chimney for smoke evacuation or as a small window for attic ventilation.
- Smoke hole — An isolated regional phonetic variant or historical transcription error for 'bageac'; an opening in the roof or a rudimentary chimney used for evacuating smoke from the hearth of traditional peasant houses.
- Smoke hole — An isolated regional phonetic variant of 'bageacă'; a structural opening made in the roof or wall of a traditional peasant house, serving as a rudimentary chimney for smoke evacuation or as a small window for attic ventilation.
- Smoke evacuation hole — A rare regional and archaic feminine variant (with the ancient '-auă' ending) for 'bageacă'; an opening in the roof or wall of a traditional peasant house serving as a rudimentary chimney for smoke evacuation or as an attic window.
- Baguette — A thin, elongated rod used in various fields. In gastronomy, it denotes a long, thin, crusty loaf of French bread; in architecture and interior design, a narrow molding strip; in music, the conductor's baton; in folklore, a magician's magic wand.
- Smoke hole — An isolated regional phonetic variant or historical transcription error for 'bageac'; an opening in the roof or wall of a traditional peasant house serving as a rudimentary chimney for smoke evacuation or as a small window for attic ventilation.
- Lath and plaster ceiling — A rare regional phonetic variant or isolated archaic corruption of 'bagdadie'; a lath and plaster ceiling or vaulted structure built over a dense grid of wooden slats or wicker reeds attached to roof beams.
- Lath and plaster ceiling — A rare regional phonetic variant or isolated archaic corruption of 'bagdadie'; a lath and plaster ceiling or vaulted structure built over a dense grid of wooden slats or wicker reeds attached to roof beams.
- Troublemaker — A slang term used in urban or prison environments to describe a loud, rowdy, or quarrelsome person prone to causing a racket or collective agitation. Secondarily, it represents an ironical or simplified graphic adaptation of 'bauhausist', designating an adherent, designer, or architect who follows the functionalist and minimalist principles of the Bauhaus school.
