Catalina Ocampo (asker) Apr 9, 2009:
Clarificación sobre "perimeter block" Gracias, Robert, pero creo que en este caso "block" se refiere a la manzana entera, no al muro que la rodea.
Definición de "perimeter block" en inglés: "a type of city block which is built up on all sides surrounding a central space that is semi-private. They are usually between 4 and 7 storeys in height, and may contain a mixture of uses, with commercial or retail functions on the ground floor. Perimeter blocks are a key component of many European cities and are an urban form that allows very high urban densities to be achieved without high-rise buildings."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_block#Perimeter_block

O, de acuerdo al Oxford Dictionary of Architecture, "Apartment-block designed around an internal court or garden."
