The beautiful shape of the bridge was actually generated, dynamically, during the process of construction.

Observation about the Golden Gate Bridge, supporting that process can generate form.

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.quote0.830
Key normative claim about the geometric requirement for living architecture.
The shapes of a truly living architecture can only be of this unfolded nature, created step by step dynamically, both in conception and construction.claim0.828
Universal claim about all living architecture.
A structure is truly generated, and perceived as having life, only when it has unfolded from a nice, beautiful sequence of differentiations.claim0.810
The most profound claim of the chapter: the niceness of the sequence is directly perceptible in the built form and is the ultimate source of living quality.
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.claim0.800
Beauty and geometry are the talisman by which a living process is known.
It is, then, this love of life which is embodied in the conception of a building, in its detail, in its execution - because the wholeness that people paid attention to really was the whole, really was all of life, and people were not ashamed or too frightened to respond to all of it in their actions as builders.claim0.794
Love as the driving force of living creation.
The shape of a falling water drop can only be created dynamically, step by step, not by a static act of draftsmanship or design.claim0.789
Water drop as an illustrative example that living-like geometry cannot be drawn statically.
A truly dynamic structure-preserving process generates layouts in which every single bit of space becomes a living center — streets, lots, gardens, courtyards, housesclaim0.787
Core claim about the morphological output of the fundamental process applied to neighborhood design.
It is, ultimately, the process, not the design, which gives life to a building.claim0.786
Emphasizes process over blueprint.
