Feasibility studies of various architectural projects lead to an analysis of planar configurations possessing a maximal number of adjacent-relations. This work extends current understanding of the properties of such configurations and describes a method for their creation. In practice, only those figures which meet the preconditions and expectations (with respect to adjacency-relations) are useful. In conclusion, a way of constructing these configurations is shown and the maximal number of different forms is established.
