BRACKET• A bracket is an architectural element: a structural or decorative member.
• It can be made of wood, stone, plaster, metal, or other mediums. It projects from a wall,
usually to carry weight and sometimes to "...strengthen an angle".
• In mechanical engineering a bracket is any intermediate component for fixing one part to
another, usually larger, part.

• A buttress is an architectural structure built against or
projecting from a wall which serves to support or reinforce the
wall.
• Buttresses are fairly common on more ancient buildings, as a
means of providing support to act against the lateral (sideways)
forces arising out of the roof structures that lack adequate
bracing.
