buildings overall / buildings across the board Explanation: This is covering all possibilities of sorts of buildings. "Overall 1. from one extreme limit of a thing to the other: the overall length of the bridge. 2. covering or includingeverything: an overall impression; to view something overall." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/overall?s=t "Across the board 1. applying to all employees, members, groups, or categories; general: The across-the-board pay increase means a raise for all employees. 2. (of a bet) covering all possibilities of winning on a given result, especially by placing a combination bet on one horse in a race for win, place, and show." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/across the board?s=t |

| Reference: On the meaning of 'diffuso' Reference information: It is in fact relating to heritage buildings that scatter (not sure if the corresponding adjective can be used for 'diffuso') around Italian city centres. I could not find an appropriate translation for this, but as a hint of what 'diffuso' means here, please refer to the concept of 'albergo diffuso' as provided in this website, http://www.utopie.it/turismo_responsabile/albergo_diffuso.ht... Of course, the term 'diffuso' is used for expanding cities, but with a negative meaning (see 'urban sprawl'). |
