TEKTON comes from the Greek and means "builder or build", which together with the word Arch (meaning Boss, authority or more than), together form the word Architect and / or Architecture (Arch-tekton), Architect means practically: boss of construction. The word Tekton has to do also with Techné which means: "creation, invention or art" and from which comes Technique and Tectonic.
