• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.824
• In order to achieve living structure, at a certain stage, it is necessary to seize hold of the building design and force it into an almost brutal, simple, massive geometric mold.claim0.822
  The chapter's central thesis: brutal geometric imposition is a necessary phase in achieving living structure
• The creation of living structure cannot be done in any other way.claim0.821
• If design and construction processes are living processes, each part will become itself, adapted to local conditions and individual people.claim0.819
