axis of penetration

In plain English you might say something like : « (The main square and) access routes leading to it »

However, engineers and architects may tend to express themselves in this more jargony fashion.

Axis -> plural axes. In mathematics, a fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates.

@Phil: "more jargony" = "odd"... :)
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I agree with your plain-English explanation, but I think a literal translation sounds odd, and your references are from other fields.

My suggestion and Taña's are six of one and half a dozen of the other. And I don't see many other options sprouting from the cracks....

Esta organización influye en los recorridos de la
Biblioteca de Viipuri. No obstante, en Jyväskylä,
axialidad, frontalidad, direccionalidad y visuales
coinciden -aunque a través de una variada sección- y
se superponen en un trayecto menos heterogéneo
y más directo. En la versión del concurso, en la cual
el eje de simetría y el ***eje de penetración** coincidían,
se deshacía, sin embargo, la axialidad vestíbulosala
de asambleas.

This layout influenced the itineraries of the Viipuri
Library. However, in Jyväskylä, the axial, frontal,
directionality and visuals coincide –albeit through a
varied section- and overlap in a less heterogeneous
and more direct way. In the competition’s version, in
which the symmetrical axis and the penetration axis
coincided, the axial lobby-assembly hall however,
was coming undone. In that manner, the broken axial
gave impulse to the main trajectory.

Peter Paul Rubens show on the penetration axis, the atrium, portico ... axis and that of the first garden. A higher level ... sculpture/architect – as Parodi defined himself – has the possibility ..... Surely, the symmetry of the garden still shows today.

Without a doubt, Castello plays– as in the structure of his
decorations between stucco and fresco– on the “sequence”
of the planes, on the plurality of the “views”: the plans by
Peter Paul Rubens show on the **penetration axis**, the atrium,
portico, courtyard, brief nymphaeum and, on the first floor,
the loggia, curvilinear galleries, balustrade and garden finished
by a nymphaeum and flanked by two open galleries,
the latter in continuity with the sequence of rooms facing
the portico.
