Tipología

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
el ascensor tiene un menor impacto sobre la tipología del edificio además una sensación única al elevarse por el hueco del Palacio....

Any idea how to translate 'tipología' in this context?

Thanks!!

style

The literal translation "typology" refers to the study of types.
I think "style" works better for a building

neutral philgoddard : No, typology means classification, which is not the meaning here.

Gracias philgoddard. Por favor, mira la referencia de Marina donde se explica el significado de "tipology" en arquitectura. Saludos :)
agree Marina Ilari : No, in this context typology means much more, typology is just classification in most of the sciences but not in architecture. See this paper: http://fbe.balikesir.edu.tr/dergi/20071/BAUFBE2007-1-1.pdf

agree neilmac : I like "distinctive character", as it adds a little to the original, in a good way :)
