Czech term

prolamovaný

Czech to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
from sentence fragment "Kovařovicova vila s dynamicky prolamovaným průčelím a výrazným rizalitem vystupujícím do zahrady v Libušině ulici..."

Another classic example of being able to see it and know what's going on, but by golly, how do we say it in English?? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and beware the dictionaries, it has nothing to do with textiles...

articulated in Cubistic Style

I would translate it articulated in Cubist Style or I would use: just articulated, which is členitý in Czech, kicked (as in an kicked roof), broken (as in an broken arch)
I would avoid perforated which may evoke that it is a facade with holes.
