• Architectural 'design,' the 20th-century process, does not work and cannot work in principle.claim0.832
• A generation of young architects was trained to be virtually unable to understand a life-creating production process.claim0.828
  Educational failure.
• 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.claim0.826
  Critique of mainstream architectural practice as detrimental to human wholeness.
• It is inherently impossible to make a successful building by mass production or prefabrication without possibility of modification.claim0.819
  Necessary minute adaptations cannot be achieved with standardized components.
• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.816
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• Living things are not 20th-century machines, but may be 21st-century machines.claim0.812
  Core thesis: the machine metaphor requires updating, not abandoning, in light of modern machine behavior.
• The processes needed to create life were damaged in the 20th century.claim0.805
  Explains why profound life is less common in modern buildings.
• If we were nevertheless trying to get our buildings conceived, designed, and built by the social processes which currently exist - the buildings would still inevitably break life and could not have life.hypothesis0.803
  Prediction about the incompatibility of modern processes with life.
