Architectural supports are structural elements used to support the weight of a building or structure. Lintels, which are seven letters long, are horizontal beams that span an opening, such as a door or window, and transfer the load from the wall above to the wall below. TRUSSES, also seven letters long, are triangular frames that are used to support roofs and bridges. They are designed to distribute the load evenly across the structure, providing stability and strength.
