8 Even in the biggest building, people must be the core. The building genuinely comes from the inspiration and deep feeling of the users

The core of a living process — whether a building is large or small — is that it comes from people, from their inner desires — and genuinely does so; that it meets their archetypal core, and thereby makes them feel at home; and above all that it follows from, and is drawn out from, their inner wishes, which they make actual through dreams, fantasy, and genuine emotional experience.
In a big building this is, of course, not so easy. It is not easy to administer — that is, to arrange a process in which the people who will use the building can give voice to what is needed there.

Living process must introduce very new elements into almost every aspect of procedure and contract administration.
