Französisch Begriff oder Satz: partie aveugle

From the leaflet of an architects' agency. I'm not sure
whether "partie aveugle" can be translated with "blind part", and would be grateful for help and comments.

"Les modifications sont légères hormis le traitement du pignon ouest qui était une partie aveugle très imposante et qui a été complètement retravaillé dans l'esprit de « donner à lire la coupe du bâtiment ». "

blind gable

Erklärung:
As this is a pignon, I think that it is safe to refer back to that and consider "partie" redundant.

I've never seen reference to a "blind part" of a building, one generally specifies what it is that is "blind". Docobat has "blind gable" as "pignon aveugle".

liz askew: frustratingly, my refs re "blind spot" did not come through. I must have pressed the wrong button/or did't press the button as the case may be :-)

-> Thanks, Liz. Most of the time I look for references after posting my answer. Here's one: www.whitepapers.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000651,260256776p-3900045... - 90k -//However, we may both be wrong in this case...see answer by Zi_neb

B D Finch: That is not what it means. Zi-neb's explanation is correct, but she didn't give the right translation.

Neutraler Kommentar

Michael Tovbin: with B D Finch: blind spot is an area that is physically beyond a person's field of view or a situation when a person refuses to see another's character flaws.

-> "Beyond a person's field of view" is what I had in mind, but I concede I was wrong in this architectural context.

dark part

Erklärung:
partie aveugle càd sans aucune ouverture qui laisse passer la lumière. On dit d'une pièce obscure, sans fenêtre "une pièce aveugle"

Good luck,

windowless gable

Erklärung:
Agree with BDF on specifying "gable," and while "blind gable" is indeed correct, "windowless" seems to be used just as frequently and may more clearly convey the meaning.

Just another idea to choose from!

Beispielsätze:

Windowless gable-end walls can be covered with a mural or with self-clinging plants.
Blank, windowless gable ends and large areas of blank walls should generally be avoided as these create spaces that are both unattractive and lack natural light.

blank wall

Erklärung:
"A wall with not openings for doors or windows"
[Scott/Penguin Dict of Bldg]
Also given as "blind wall", with ref. back to "blank wall"

The Dict. of Architecture and Construction by Cyril M Harris [McGHill] does the same, with "blind wall" referring to "blank wall" with the definition:

blank wall, blind wall, dead wall - A wall whose whole surface is unbroken by a window, door, or other opening.
