Portuguese term (edited): forma cristalizada

Standardized

"standardized" or perhaps "permanently defined" would be further from a literal translation but I think it would relay the intended meaning a bit better (in this case it refers to an architectural pratice which pretty much remained identical in its use since the 17th century)
