A footprint, from a construction point of view, is the projected area on the ground or basement, upon witch the construction is to be placed. In other words it is the total consumed horizontal area of the vertical span of the object. An example of this Is the Eiffel Tower. The footprint of the Eiffel Tower is the total square under it, not just the four plates it stands on.
