rustication
Rustication is the act of sending someone, often for disciplinary reasons, to live in the countryside or a rural area, away from their usual urban or city environment. This term is commonly used in academia, specifically in British universities, referring to the temporary expulsion of a student. In architectural context, rustication refers to a style of masonry that emphasizes the joints between stones, giving the building a rustic appearance. It's a technique used to make the lower floors of buildings appear stronger and more grounded.

Rustication
In classical architecture rustication is an architectural feature that contrasts in texture with the smoothly finished, squared block masonry surfaces called ashlar. Rusticated masonry is usually squared-off but left with a more or less rough outer surface and wide joints that emphasize the edges of each block. Rustication is often used to give visual weight to the ground floor in contrast to smooth ashlar above.
