What's in a Name? The word constructure fell out of use in the nineteenth century and by the early twentieth century, it was removed from the dictionary entirely. Constructure's historic definition, as well as the more contemporary terms embedded within it – structure and construct – define the work that we do.
Embedded in Constructure is the word construct, which means: “to draw with suitable instruments and under specified conditions; to set in logical order.” We engineer rational structures for both new and existing buildings, setting them "in logical order.”
Constructure also contains the word structure, or the: “interrelation of parts in a complex entity; something constructed, such as a building.” We design new buildings and new spaces that relate to their surrounding built and natural contexts.
Historically, the word constructure has meant “that which is constructed or formed; a fabric." We form interior spaces using furnishings, fabrics, and objects in a manner that is complimentary to the constructed building.
