Many modern designs could not, under any circumstances, have been created by a structure-preserving step-by-step process; they are conceptual and barren.

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

• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.835
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• These step-by-step processes are very simple, virtually unhampered by concepts or by too much thought about the intricacy of design.claim0.833
  The commonality underlying all the examples of living process.
• 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.quote0.832
  Key normative claim about the geometric requirement for living architecture.
• After 1900, a variety of modern building processes came into use that are not structure-preserving—some accidentally structure-destroying, others actively promoting ugliness for profit.claim0.832
  Historical shift.
• The shapes of a truly living architecture can only be of this unfolded nature, created step by step dynamically, both in conception and construction.claim0.817
  Universal claim about all living architecture.
• The creation of living structure cannot be done in any other way.claim0.816
• Modern architectural design typically creates a schematic drawing containing hundreds of untested decisions, with no step-by-step testing against real life.claim0.813
  Critique of current design practice: hundreds of variables frozen at once.
• This process is harmful, and has a strong tendency to work against creation of living structure in building design.claim0.811
