What is a "column"?
A column is a tall, vertical structure used to support a building or other structures. It is often round or square in shape and made of materials like stone, wood, metal, or concrete. Columns are commonly found in architecture, especially in classical designs, where they are used to hold up roofs, porches, or ceilings. They can be decorative as well as functional, sometimes featuring detailed carvings or capitals at the top. Columns are important elements in many buildings, giving them stability while adding aesthetic appeal.
