Loggia (English spelling)

Japanese: ロッジア（英語表記）loggia

An architectural term. A term generally referring to an open colonnade. It is often used to refer to a space from which one can enjoy a view of the upper floors of a building, which were widely built in Europe from around the end of the 15th century, but it can also refer to a porch in front of an entrance. Since the Middle Ages, it has also been used to refer to small open-air buildings built in public squares as seating for VIPs during ceremonies and festivals. The Loggia dei Lanzi (1376) in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence is an example of this.

建築用語。吹放しになった柱廊一般をさす言葉。 15世紀末頃からヨーロッパでさかんに造られた，建物の上階の展望が楽しめる空間をさすことが多いが，玄関前面のポーチもこう呼ばれることがある。また中世以降，公共の広場に儀式や祭礼の場合の貴賓席として造られる吹放しの小建築もこの名で呼ばれる。フィレンツェのシニョリーア広場のランツィのロッジア (1376) はこの例である。
