In the case of buildings, if the process is a living one, the fountain of geometrical order comes above all from building structure — columns, walls, beams, vaults — specifically from the aperiodic, tartan-like grids which form the abstract underpinning of the building structure.

Identifies the structural core and aperiodic grid as the primary source of geometric order in living building processes

We cannot create living order only by concentrating on appearance; we must characterize the geometry that comes from living process.claim0.842
The kind of order that occurs in living structure has a complexity not usually describable by drawings or by architectural images.claim0.837
Emphasizes the non-pictorial, process-dependent nature of living order.
We hypothesize that a similar 'brutal' and purely geometric process always occurs somewhere in other kinds of unfolding that generate living order — in poetry, dance, social structure, planning, and family relationships.hypothesis0.822
Extends the brutal geometry thesis beyond architecture into all creative and social domains; acknowledged as not yet confirmed with certainty
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.claim0.820
The geometric injection is the causal source of the building's profound depth
All living processes use unfolding to create geometric order.claim0.816
Universal claim extending the unfolding-and-geometry principle beyond buildings to all living systems
Within a building, the rectilinear order also comes from a disciplined unfolding of the whole.claim0.815
It is, indeed, this pattern of the middle-sized entities, which most strongly gives overall geometric order to the building. Without it, a building is very unlikely to be beautiful.claim0.805
Identifies the pattern of middle-range entities as the primary source of overall geometric order and beauty
If it is a living process, it will create beautiful geometric structure. If it does not create beautiful structure, it cannot truly be a living process.claim0.803
Beauty and geometry are the talisman by which a living process is known.
