A guided look at columns and piers — profiles, capitals, and how loads descend at Saint‑Denis.

Profiles reveal paths. Capitals mediate rib arrival, bases resolve loads to foundations. Columns and piers compose the structural syntax of the nave.
| Profile | Task | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Clustered | Rib reception | Gothic clarity |
| Cylindrical | Nave order | Romanesque echo |
| Compound | Mixed loads | Transitional |

A column is a sentence in the grammar of forces.
