No building is ever really complete – inhabitants' requirements change, environment changes. Repair should lose sense of 'incorrectness' and become redesign opportunity.

• 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.hypothesis0.820
  Predictive conditional summarizing the chapter's argument.
• In modern architecture, neither design nor construction typically works step by step; instead there is a fixed end-state produced without realistic feedback.claim0.818
  Contrast between living process and current architectural practice.
• The process of creating a living building requires not merely redefining functions, but rearranging and redefining the centers of function — which then opens the door to a new comfortable lifeclaim0.813
  Derived from the farmhouse kitchen case study in section 9
• A building which has profound feeling will also solve seemingly unrelated functional aspects.claim0.810
• It is inherently impossible to make a successful building by mass production or prefabrication without possibility of modification.claim0.808
  Necessary minute adaptations cannot be achieved with standardized components.
• In typical apartment buildings, the plan is treated as fixed and not subject to correction, preventing sensible adaptation and resulting in unloved spaces.claim0.803
  Critique of apartment design process.
• 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.claim0.799
  Life at larger scales depends on life at the fine scale.
• If we were nevertheless trying to get our buildings conceived, designed, and built by the social processes which currently exist - the buildings would still inevitably break life and could not have life.hypothesis0.799
  Prediction about the incompatibility of modern processes with life.
