GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Art/Literary - Architecture / urban planning
Portuguese term or phrase: espaço expressão
'A expressão arquitectónica do autor do conjunto edificado apropria-se do espaço urbano, o qual se transforma no somatório de espaços expressão de interpretações individualizadas do quadro da vida quotidiana'

The first time I read this I thought that maybe something was missing but after googling it I believe there might be such a thing, although I'm not sure what it is exactly and how it could relate to the context.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Explanation:

...the combination of spaces, an expression of individual(ized) interpretations of the daily life picture.


I believe a comma is missing after "espaços".

...se transforma no somatório de espaços, expressão de interpretações....

That's what I found on Espaço Expressão on Google (names of businesses).

Asker: Marlene, that's what I thought at first, but I also saw the term 'espaço expressão' on Google, although there was no explanation.
