Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La mention de «patio» comme synonyme de «atrium» semble abusive ou erronée. Il ne faut pas confondre les deux : alors qu'un «atrium» désigne un espace habituellement couvert, généralement à l'aide d'un matériau translucide, le patio se définit comme suit : «Espace découvert clos autour duquel sont disposées, et sur lequel s'ouvrent [...] les diverses pièces d'une habitation.» (Source : LAROG,1982, vol.8. p.7887). 3, record 4, French, - atrium
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «atrium» vient de l'extension de sens de l'atrium de la maison romaine traditionnelle. Il s'est implanté au Québec. Nous connaissons, par exemple, les atriums de la Place Dupuis, à Montréal. 3, record 4, French, - atrium
