To make a building that lives, it must be allowed to unfold step by step in real time, both before and during construction; we cannot fake it.

• A building can have real life only when the building details have life and are adapted, in their fine structure, to the life of the building.claim0.855
  Life at larger scales depends on life at the fine scale.
• It is only when you treat the raw material of the building as the stuff being shaped and take control with your own hands that you can make a real thing.claim0.837
  Hands-on involvement is necessary for worth.
• If a building is made by a process that allows fine adaptation through feedback, it will have life; if built from fixed drawings, it will not.hypothesis0.836
  Predictive conditional summarizing the chapter's argument.
• Living structure in buildings can only be GENERATED. It cannot be created by brute force from designs.claim0.828
  Core thesis of Book 2, stated at the transition to Part Two.
• To have living modern architecture, society must have a process capable of generating building form dynamically, step by step, at all scales.claim0.819
  The need for a new kind of process in society.
• 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.claim0.815
  The chapter's central thesis: brutal geometric imposition is a necessary phase in achieving living structure
• No building has real life unless it is deeply and robustly functional.claim0.808
  Opening assertion setting the stage for unified ornament-function.
• The shapes of a truly living architecture can only be of this unfolded nature, created step by step dynamically, both in conception and construction.claim0.808
  Universal claim about all living architecture.
