In general, the geometry will be created by differentiation, not by addition or accretion; the parts are given their dimensions by differentiating operations within the spatial shell.

A formal principle of the living process that uniqueness emerges from successive differentiation.

Does this formal creation of geometry really apply to other living processes? Does it apply to the formation of a community? Does it apply to the creation of a human group; does it apply to the brushwork of a delicate painting? Or to the construction of a song played by a flute?question0.814
The open question that the chapter leaves for future investigation across multiple domains
The geometric process of differentiation is the necessary underpinning of any building which is functionally well-adapted to its terrain.claim0.814
Links unfolding to functional adaptation, not just aesthetics.
We cannot create living order only by concentrating on appearance; we must characterize the geometry that comes from living process.claim0.805
Parts created during the process of differentiation must become locally unique; otherwise the process is not a living process.claim0.800
Necessary condition that prevents mechanical mass-production and enforces local adaptation.
It is my contention that the shapes of a truly living architecture… can only be of this nature. They must have been created step by step—dynamically—both while they were being thought out and while they were being made.quote0.794
Key normative claim about the geometric requirement for living architecture.
How can human beings implement a geometrical differentiating process successfully?question0.792
Opening question of the chapter, framing the central challenge.
The shapes of a truly living architecture can only be of this unfolded nature, created step by step dynamically, both in conception and construction.claim0.789
Universal claim about all living architecture.
It is this injection of definite, strong, geometrical order that allows the profound depth of the made thing — the building in the land — and it is from this that the order must and will arise.claim0.788
The geometric injection is the causal source of the building's profound depth
