What is a cantilever column and how is it used in building design?

A cantilever column is a vertical structural element that is anchored at one end and projects horizontally from its point of support. This type of column is used in building design to enable large open spaces without the need for vertical supports in the middle. Cantilever columns can be used in architecture, such as creating a balcony or a building that requires a unique design.
