latticework
Sign in to saveAlso known as transenna, lattice
__NOTOC__ thumb|Mashrabiya screen on display at the [[British Museum]] Latticework is an openwork framework consisting of a criss-crossed pattern of strips of building material, typically wood or metal. The design is created by crossing the strips to form a grid or weave. Latticework may be functional – for example, to allow airflow to or through an area; structural, as a truss in a lattice girder; used to add privacy, as through a lattice screen; purely decorative; or some combination of these.
