VERB
to provide with quoins, as a corner of a wall. to secure or raise with a quoin or wedge.
Some are structural, providing strength for a wall made with inferior stone or rubble, while others merely add aesthetic detail to a corner. These imply strength, permanence, and expense, all reinforcing the onlooker's sense of a structure's presence. Stone quoins are used on stone or brick buildings.
In architecture, quoins are external cornerstones at the edges of stone or brick buildings. So how do quoins work, exactly? There's an example right at your fingertips. Take your fingers on both hands, and interconnect them so that your fingertips interconnect at a right angle. Right now, your fingertips are quoins.
Quoins are almost always visually distinct from the rest of the wall, distinguished by unique color, texture, or material. Quoins are very often set in a toothed pattern (alternating short and long ends) and are rusticated, or recessed from the wall. So, not all great architectural elements have to be really expensive.
