Definition
构造 (gòu zào) means 'to construct, to build' and is used for both physical structures (a bridge) and abstract ones (a theory). It focuses on the process of forming a structure. Compare: 构成 (gòu chéng) emphasizes the components that make up a whole ('to constitute'), while 构建 (gòu jiàn) is more formal and used for abstract systems or frameworks.
