Cant (architecture)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chiesa del Purgatorio, Ragusa: the facade are angled (canted) back from the centre.
County Hall, Aylesbury with canted recesses

A cant in architecture is an angled (oblique-angled) line or surface that cuts off a corner.[1][2] Something with a cant is canted.

Canted facades are a typical of, but not exclusive to, Baroque architecture. The angle breaking the facade is less than a right angle, thus enabling a canted facade to be viewed as, and remain, one composition. Bay windows frequently have canted sides.[2]

A cant is sometimes synonymous with chamfer and bevel.[3]
