Architecture word of the day: Spandrel. A spandrel refers to the area between the top of a window on one floor and the sill of the window above it. This space can be filled with a variety of materials, including brick, stone, metal panels, or glass, and serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. #architecturefacts
