What is a "cushion"?
In architecture, a cushion refers to a rounded or curved decorative element that resembles the shape of a pillow. It is often found in structural features like the tops of columns, arches, or moldings, where it softens the transition between different parts of a building. The cushion shape adds a sense of smoothness and elegance to the design while also contributing to the overall visual harmony of the structure. Common in classical and Romanesque architecture, this feature enhances both the beauty and functionality of the building’s design.
