A building element for use as a column or a beam includes a profile of substantially uniform cross-section extending lengthwise between first and second ends. The profile is defined by a web, a pair of side flanges perpendicular to the web, and curved outer corners joining the side flanges, respectively, to the web. The web includes at least one constriction extending in the same direction as the side flanges and having a pair of arms extending angularly inwardly toward one another from curved inner corners of the web to a curved base having an apex. The side flanges extend from the outer corners to tips, respectively, terminating at side edges, respectively. The building element has an overall width between the web and the tips. The at least one constriction has a width between the web and the apex about 1/3 the overall width. A plurality of the building elements can be assembled in web-to-web relation and/or tip-to-tip relation to obtain various building element assemblies useable as beam assemblies or column assemblies.

The trim assembly of claim 7, wherein said first alignment formation facilitates the connection of said first and second legs and projects generally perpendicular to said first and second legs. 9. The trim assembly of claim 1, wherein said first leg comprises a first radial protuberance projecting from the terminus of said free end of said first leg, a second alignment formation adjacent to said free end of said first leg and projecting in a relatively perpendicular orientation from said first leg and oriented in the opposite direction as said second body portion, and said mounting portion. 10. The trim assembly of claim 9, wherein said mounting portion comprises a flange adapted to accept a fastening device, the junction of said flange and said first leg located at a point between said first and second alignment formations with said flange projecting in a relatively perpendicular orientation from said first leg and oriented in the same direction as said second alignment formation. 11. The trim assembly of claim 10, wherein said fastening device accepted by said mounting portion of said bracket is a screw. 12. The trim assembly of claim 11, wherein said mounting portion is capable of accommodating a plurality of screws. 13. The trim assembly of claim 1, wherein said second leg comprises a third alignment formation adjacent to the junction of said second leg and said second body portion, projecting in a relatively perpendicular orientation from said second leg and oriented in the same direction as said flange and said second alignment formation. 14. The trim assembly of claim 1, wherein said second body portion comprises a second radial protuberance projecting from the opposite side of said second body portion as said first body portion. 15. The trim assembly of claim 1, wherein said first leg is obtusely connected to said second leg so as to define a generally rectangular channel, said channel adapted to retain an insert. 16. The trim assembly of claim 15, wherein said insert constitutes a means for attaching ends of said trim ring. 17. The trim assembly of claim 1, wherein said long member attached end is perpendicularly connected to said first leg of said angled member by a radial segment, and said short member attached end is obtusely connected to said second leg of said angled member. 18. The trim assembly of claim 17, wherein said long member further comprises a first concavity and said short member further comprises a second concavity, said first concavity located on the interior surface of said long member in a position adjacent to said long member free end and opposed to said second concavity, said second concavity located on the interior surface of said short member adjacent to said short member free end and opposed to said first concavity. 19. A window trim assembly for use on a window adapted for installation in a wall, said window trim assembly comprising: a bracket, said bracket comprising a mounting portion and a receiving portion, said mounting portion adapted to attach to the wall and said receiving portion including first and second body portions; and a trim ring, said trim ring defining an exterior surface adapted to cover said bracket, said trim ring including an engagement portion adapted to connect with said receiving portion of said bracket and comprising a long member, a short member, and an angled member, all of which define an open side, wherein said long member comprises one attached end and one free end, said long member free end located along a first boundary defining said open side, said short member comprises one attached end and one free end, said short member free end located along a second boundary defining said open side, said angled member comprises first and second legs, said long member being oriented generally parallel to said short member with said long member attached end connected to said short member attached end by said an
