A generation of young architects was trained to be virtually unable to understand a life-creating production process.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The architecture of the past century served the inherently machine-like production process that is incapable of creating life.claim0.828
  General historical verdict.
• Professional architecture of the 20th century has paid too little attention to the complex, subtle structure that only living processes create, leading to environments that rob millions of common sense.claim0.808
  Critique of mainstream architectural practice as detrimental to human wholeness.
• Most present-day architects like talking about construction but are afraid of construction tools, and architectural education prevents students from gaining construction experience.claim0.792
  Observation about the culture of architecture that perpetuates the separation of design from making.
• The images created by famous architects (Le Corbusier, Mies, etc.) formed an accepted style that embodied defects of the production system and became targets for younger architects.claim0.783
  Image propagation in architectural culture.
• Architectural 'design,' the 20th-century process, does not work and cannot work in principle.claim0.782
• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.777
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• Architects must now necessarily play a major role as inventors of new techniques because existing available techniques do not permit creation of living structureclaim0.776
  Alexander's argument that passive component-assembly is insufficient and architects must become inventors.
• I doubt if we shall plumb the full extent to which a living structure is created until we have thoroughly explored and understood just what these ancient builders did, in what frame of mind they did it, and with what attitude.claim0.775
  A statement of incompleteness: our understanding misses the inner state of the builders, which is essential.
