structurally
In building terms
Structurally means in terms of structure—how something is built, organized, or arranged.
A building can be structurally sound or structurally compromised.
An argument may be structurally flawed.
The word applies to physical frameworks, organizational systems, or abstract arrangements: The two languages are structurally similar.
