Architecture
Portuguese term or phrase: a partir de um edificio como um todo
Me confundi toda quando li essa parte. Principalmente pelo fato da mesma coisa ter sido dita antes. E o que vem depois me confunde mais ainda. O português neste documento está terrível.

Muito obrigada!

Asker: Thanks Kathryn. That's exactly what I had in mind but I wasn't quite sure if I had understood it correctly. The Portuguese in this document is really confusing!
