What is a "pilaster"?
A pilaster is a vertical architectural feature that resembles a column but is attached to a wall rather than standing freely. It usually has a rectangular shape and can be decorative or functional. Pilasters often feature fluting or other designs, similar to columns, and they help to support the structure above while adding visual interest to the wall. They are commonly found in buildings, providing a sense of depth and dimension, and can be used in various architectural styles to enhance the overall design.
