Advisory Architectural Constructs
Background
Constructs are the structural ideas that give the architecture its shape—they are the patterns, relationships, and interpretive frameworks that organize meaning and guide how the system functions. While Components identify what the system is made of, Constructs explain how those parts relate, interact, and form coherent structure. They provide the architecture’s internal logic: the categories, sequences, and structural decisions that turn raw material into something ordered and intelligible. By defining Constructs clearly, the architecture gains clarity, consistency, and a shared way of understanding how everything fits together.
