Hi Jeremy
I will be very provincial and forward my
proposal: the Portuguese word 'caminho', same
root as the French 'chemin' and the Spanich
'camino', - ('Camino, Vía de tierra por donde se
transita habitualmente' ). Unfortunately it has a
somewhat geographical connotation but in our
Latin languages it also has an architectural
significance. Not the self-willed 'promenade architecturale'...
Best,
Madalena Cunha Matos
