Tech/Engineering - Architecture / architettura chiese gotiche
English term or phrase: false bearing
This "false bearing" tecnique, so called from the fact that the arcade piers are not centered under those of the gallery, is most easily studied in cross sections, but in the nave of St-Pierre-de-Montmartre it is just possible to see through the openings of the middle storey that the wall at this level is thicker than the main arcades.

the term appears in a text about History of Gothic architeture

I was thinking about: falso appoggio, falso sostegno
