To have living modern architecture, society must have a process capable of generating building form dynamically, step by step, at all scales.

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

• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.854
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• Achieving living architecture will require primarily process-based methods that use high technology to give processes not components, creating sophisticated elements fast and cheaply while fitting local circumstanceclaim0.852
  Alexander's core prescriptive claim for 21st-century construction technology.
• 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.quote0.837
  Key normative claim about the geometric requirement for living architecture.
• We may find inspiration in these modern processes since they give us practical guides for imagining the kinds of process which can realistically create living structure in our world.claim0.835
  The pragmatic hope drawn from the collection of examples.
• The shapes of a truly living architecture can only be of this unfolded nature, created step by step dynamically, both in conception and construction.claim0.834
  Universal claim about all living architecture.
• 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.claim0.833
  The chapter's central thesis: brutal geometric imposition is a necessary phase in achieving living structure
• Every living process must necessarily be an adaptive, step-by-step process that creates unity by adapting the structure into harmony with what exists.claim0.833
• Unless we have a form language which supports the necessities of living structure, then living structure is simply out of our reach.quote0.829
  Emphasizes the necessity of a form language for achieving living structure.
