In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.

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

• Modern architectural design typically creates a schematic drawing containing hundreds of untested decisions, with no step-by-step testing against real life.claim0.862
  Critique of current design practice: hundreds of variables frozen at once.
• Architectural 'design,' the 20th-century process, does not work and cannot work in principle.claim0.861
• To have living modern architecture, society must have a process capable of generating building form dynamically, step by step, at all scales.claim0.854
  The need for a new kind of process in society.
• If a building is made by a process that allows fine adaptation through feedback, it will have life; if built from fixed drawings, it will not.hypothesis0.847
  Predictive conditional summarizing the chapter's argument.
• The great majority of modern buildings are awkward assemblies of unrelated components, lacking the coherence necessary to be living designs.claim0.845
  Aesthetic judgment on modern buildings.
• Our present forms of planning, design, construction, and production are deeply flawed because they do not include step-by-step adaptation and cannot in principle do so as they are.claim0.839
  Sweeping indictment of current production systems.
• These step-by-step processes are very simple, virtually unhampered by concepts or by too much thought about the intricacy of design.claim0.838
  The commonality underlying all the examples of living process.
• Many modern designs could not, under any circumstances, have been created by a structure-preserving step-by-step process; they are conceptual and barren.claim0.835
  In-principle impossibility claim.
