Well, if you have not realized, you're being asked to do a project on castles and their set up. Go to Wikipedia.com and type those in. You'll get all the information you need, and then some. Maybe you could create a mini replica, or draw very detailed pictures. A powerpoint would help too.

I hope you have fun, it actually is pretty neat when you think that they did all this without much in the way of modern technology,

The Wizard of Oz (Three-Disc Collector's Edition) $11.99 When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become.

Pablo Bronstein was born on 1977 in London. Pablo Bronstein’s Plaza Monument is a proposal for classical piazza. Drawing from the Italian traditions of perspective and geometric purity, his quotes range from Renaissance design, to modern masters such as Aldo Rossi. Executed in watery ink, Bronstein’s plan conveys his monument with an ephemeral elegance, framing the imposing as delicate opus. Conceiving the public space as theatre, Bronstein curtains his erection with a decorative frieze; the subtle angular shadow infringes on the arena with an impending drama reminiscent of De Chirico.

Pablo Bronstein uses architecture as a means to engage with power: of history, monuments, and the built environment. Using pen and ink on paper, his acutely drafted drawings capture an archival romance of a grand age, a nostalgic longing for the imposing and imperial. Adopting the styles of various architects and movements, his elaborate designs become plausible inventions, both paying homage to and critiquing the emblems of civil engineering. In Elevation and Interior, Bronstein’s plan borders on abstraction. Depicting the history of architecture from a simple hole in the ground, to a hut, Byzantine temple, Baroque cathedral, enshrined in the cold industrial shell of a modernist shed, Bronstein dissects the lineage of ideas and ideologies, all pastiched together with a dandyish Pomo flair.

Pablo Bronstein works primarily with 1980s postmodernist and 18th century post-revolutionary French architecture. Finding parallels between their decadent pretensions and their demonstration of precise moments in history via formalist structure, these periods, for Bronstein, define what it is to be a citizen, embracing the heroic as a uniting social value. Basing his Monument… on Jean-Pierre Louis Laurent Houel’s The Storm of the Bastille, Bronstein gives the famous painting a facelift a la Pomo architect Michael Graves. Using Graves’s trademark pastel tones and stylized patterns, Bronstein authors an alternate history: breathtakingly impressive, and hauntingly crypt-like.

Pablo Bronstein’s 4 Facades is an original sketch for an architectural installation. Intervening with life-sized space, the installation posed a skyline physically cut out of a wall. Considering the drawings as ‘dress rehearsals’ to the final piece, Bronstein approaches architecture as a per formative entity. Presenting popular buildings as pared down symbols, Bronstein plays with ideas of scale, his tiny blue prints framing the colossal as minimalist suggestion.

need swivel bracket because of slant on wall

It might help to describe the shower setup. Is the shower part of a clawfoot tub? If so then something like the rectangular shower surround shown here, http://www.clawfootclassics.com/product.asp?lid=1615, that has a rod that mounts to the ceiling with a swivel ring around the rod might be what you need.

This site has just the support braces that you can add onto a shower surround, http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/feature_item.asp?cat=89&subcat=122
