- Openwork — An artistic embroidery or decorative openwork fabric made by drawing out weft threads and grouping the remaining ones, or through controlled perforation, forming a network of aesthetic geometric holes; by extension, any ornament or structural element (in architecture, jewelry, or woodwork) featuring symmetrical decorative cutouts that allow the partial passage of light.
- Openwork crafting — The act of performing openwork and its result; the technical or manual process through which ajoure-style decorative patterns are made on fabric, clothing, leather, or architectural structures. This ornamental operation involves controlled perforation, lattice carving, or pulling threads from the weave to create symmetrical translucent motifs that aesthetically filter light.
- Enfilade — A structural arrangement of several rooms, doors, courtyards, or architectural elements aligned in a straight line, so that their successive opening offers a long and continuous perspective over the entire assembly. In historical military tactics, the term denotes a firing position or direction parallel to the fortification line or the enemy's troop line, allowing the sweeping of the entire front with a single fire.
