långväggad

Långväggad is a Swedish adjective that translates to "long-walled" or "side-walled" in English. It is often used to describe structures or objects that have extended side walls. The term can appear in various contexts, from architecture to descriptions of natural formations or even abstract concepts.

In architecture, långväggad might refer to a building with particularly long exterior walls, perhaps a barn, a warehouse, or a specific type of house. This characteristic can influence the building's structural integrity, internal layout, and overall aesthetic. The term emphasizes the dominant dimension of the side surfaces.

Beyond buildings, the concept of långväggad can be applied to other elongated forms. For example, a canyon with very long, sheer rock faces could be described as långväggad. Similarly, in a more figurative sense, a long and uneventful journey might be colloquially referred to as a "långväggad" experience, implying a prolonged and perhaps monotonous passage. The core meaning remains the extension of the side dimension.
