Tech/Engineering - Architecture
Spanish term or phrase: de planta
This is a description of a building. I understand the measurements of each level to be 82m by 82m, but I suspect that there is a technical term to express the idea of "de planta" that relates it to the occupancy of the ground. The sentence reads:

Se trata de un auténtico “fat-building” de 82x82m de planta con 80.000m2 construidos en el que la ciudad penetra construyendo un desarrollo espiral de plazas-atalaya que hacen las veces de vestíbulo de diversos lugares de entre 25 y 4.000 m2 en los que puede ocurrir casi cualquier cosa –exposiciones, reuniones, campeonatos deportivos, mercadillos y ferias, conciertos, etc
