Spanish term or phrase: columna empotrada
Unfortunately, I can't offer any context. The term appears as a sort of handwritten explanation for something on a sketch from the 1960s by an Argentine artist who is also an architect.
"Embedded column"?

engaged column


Explanation:
A column which is attached to the wall so that only half of the form projects from the wall.
http://https://sites.pitt.edu/~medart/menuglossary/APP.HTM

An engaged, attached, or embedded column is one that is built into a wall and protrudes only partially from it.

There appear to be a lot more hits for "engaged column" than "embedded column".
