What is "cuspidation"?

Cuspidation refers to a pointed or angular design feature, often seen in architectural elements such as arches, windows, or decorative motifs. This characteristic typically involves sharp, triangular shapes that create a visually striking effect. In Gothic architecture, cuspidation is often found in the designs of decorative stonework and window openings, contributing to the intricate details of the structure. The use of pointed forms in cuspidation not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also emphasizes verticality, which is a key aspect of Gothic architectural style.
