The building is first and foremost designed as a system of expenditures; from the outset, financial calculations help to shape the building as much as design.

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

• It is, ultimately, the process, not the design, which gives life to a building.claim0.842
  Emphasizes process over blueprint.
• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.809
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• It is theoretically impossible to build a successful building from a set of drawings specifying every detail.claim0.792
  Because feedback is needed to shape elements during construction.
• The building system needs to allow windows to be placed afterwards to reflect the interior plan designed by the family.claim0.790
  Technical requirement for enabling user customization.
• Computation is a game of empowerment and, therefore, the investment in opening the design process remains a critical challenge for contemporary architecture.claim0.785
  Final normative claim: computation’s nature as a game demands architectural openness, a challenge yet to be met.
• A building which has profound feeling will also solve seemingly unrelated functional aspects.claim0.784
• The beauty and force of any building arises always, and in its entirety, from the deep functional nature of the centers that have been created.claim0.784
  Core principle tying beauty directly to deeply functional centers.
• This is the moment when the building becomes architecture.claim0.784
  The brutal geometric moment — making positive elements, syncopated harmony, massive stones — is what transforms mere building into architecture
