alternation of support

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2023/ / 0 comments

A system of supports for an arcade or colonnade in which there are two different types of support. The alternation may be quite obvious between one pier (strong support) and one column (weak support), or the alternation may exist only in slight differences in the shafting on each pier. See also arcade, colonade, column, pier. (Medieval Art, 2020)
