Balloon framing is the use of long continuous studs that run from the sill plate to the top plate, with the floors nailed to the sides of the studs, creating a hollow cavity in the walls for insulation and utilities. This method was commonly used in wood-frame construction in North America from the 1800s to the mid-20th century. Steel-cage construction is a method using steel framework instead of wood, bearing construction uses a system of posts and beams for support, Gothic construction is a style of architecture, and cantilever construction involves a beam or slab unsupported at one end.
