The construction or arrangement of balustrades; a series of balusters forming a decorative railing system.
A gerund form of 'balustrade,' created by adding the '-ing' suffix to turn the noun into an action or process. The concept emerged as an architectural term in the 1700s as the style became widespread.
Balustrading is one of those technical architectural terms that separates professional builders from amateurs—it's not just about installing individual balusters, but understanding proportions, spacing, load distribution, and aesthetics as one integrated system!
