Architectural

With relation to sculpture, architectural means any component of a building or structure which has been modelled, carved or welded by a sculptor and integrated into the whole in some manner so as to embellish or enhance it, as distinguished from work created for display independently. A caryatid is an example of this. And so is an ornate fireplace surround or mantel. The two subjects or artforms of sculpture and architecture have been closely related through the ages.
