soft joints Explanation: This term is coming right after the phrase "sin aristas vivas", and an "arista viva is: arista viva: 1. Intersección en un ángulo exterior entre dos molduras o superficies. 2. Arista o línea que sirve de guía al cantero para nivelar las superficies. this is a sharp, right angle edge joint in contrast there is a "soft joint": Architectural Detailing: Function - Constructibility - We need to look more closely at the construction of the shelf angle, soft joint, and flashing.

I believe the use of acorde in this sense is the idea of a "conjunto" of different items, like the idea of a musical acorde being a "conjunto de tres o más sonidos diferentes combinados armónicamente", the term here is being applied architecturally so the 'finishes of the buildings need to be corrugated (wavy?) and avoid hard, sharp edges in the joining of external angles and instead use soft joints' |

5 hrs confidence:
smooth transitions Explanation: Yes, "arista viva" is indeed a sharp edge, but the section of the wall containing said edge may well be cast or built as a single element, without any joint. The recommendation calls for rough (not corrugated) surfaces and for the avoidance of sharp edges, using, instead smooth transitions. |
