The work on site and volume design is the most vital single step in the emergence of a new building.

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.claim0.835
  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.claim0.795
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• It is the material substance of walls, floors, steps, windows, and roof — and the configuration of how they are made — which governs whether living centers can emerge and fine structure adaptation can occurclaim0.794
  Alexander's foundational claim linking material technique directly to the possibility of living architecture.
• In a living design process, every step must be concerned with the whole and must make the feeling of the whole more profound.claim0.791
  Restatement of the central principle in the context of the Claremont Canyon example.
• Projects with living structure will often tend to have an informal formal character of volume and space.claim0.788
  This morphological quality is visible in the Berryessa house plan and is typical of class-one structures.
• At each step, doing the simplest thing that can be done to intensify existing centers will produce living structure.hypothesis0.786
  Operational hypothesis equating simplicity of step with emergence of life.
• It is only when engineering and architecture work together from the very first day that deep feeling or life can be attained in a building.claim0.786
  Assertion about the necessity of early engineering integration for living quality.
• In any living process, the next step which is most structure-enhancing is that step which most intensifies the feeling of the emerging whole.claim0.783
