"While
we find ourselves inclined to think of ´construction´ as the
result of an activity which is ´to construct´, we don't seem
to think as easily of ´structure´ as the result of a conscious
activity which is ´to structure´. The real difference between
these two words is that ´construction´ carries a connotation
of something put together consciously while ´structure´ refers
to an ordered arrangement of constituent parts in a much wider sense".
