"Downstand" typically refers to a structural element, particularly in architecture and engineering, where a beam or joist extends downward from a horizontal plane, such as a ceiling or floor. This design helps to support loads while allowing for clear space above. Downstands can also be used for aesthetic purposes, adding visual interest to a space.
