In recent decades, the field of architecture has witnessed a fundamental shift under the banner of 'ecology': from the innovation in energy technologies to the use of circular materials and climate-neutral building solutions - today, more than ever, the construction of a building seems to be dominated by an ecological awareness. At the same time, such sustainable thinking often places ecological questions outside of the design itself, in the hands of experts and within the logic of quantitative calculation, while the building disappears into the ephemerality of life cycles and network models. By focusing on the intersection between ecology and aesthetics in architecture, however, this issue of OASE situates the thinking about such issues at the heart of the discipline. It asks: how do ecological questions materialise in architecture? And what aesthetic practices are able to shape the perception of these ecological questions? Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in

OASE 107 (Paperback)

For Dutch see below - English - In recent decades, the drawing practices in landscape design and urbanism have seen a number of transformations. Current developments in theory and practice have rendered the distinction between the two more diffuse. Both disciplines are no longer regarded as architecture - or gardening - 'on a larger scale', primarily anchored in questions of housing, land development or embellishment. Today ecology, energy transition or 'metabolic' issues are much more present, which leads to new forms of drawing. Leaving an object-oriented thinking behind, both disciplines seem to be convinced of the importance of the process and the impact of the factor of time. Space has become understood as an intersection - a 'coagulation' - of a multiplicity of flows and processes. For designers it is an essential question how all these flows and processes come together, materialize, and become visible, and how their 'spatialization' in drawings is represented in analysis and

OASE 106 (Paperback)

For Dutch see below. -ENGLISH- The German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) once stated that spatial thinking is 'political' thinking, as it is concerned about the world and its inhabitants. We certainly can understand spatial thinking here as architectural thinking: the 'world' for Arendt meant the ways in which we make the globe habitable for people: how we build houses and cities, infrastructures and other networks, and furnish spaces with tables, chairs, paintings and photographs. According to Arendt, this world-of-things was crucial for political life: it is this world that simultaneously connects people and separates them, just like a table organises the people (and the conversation) around it. This OASE examines architecture - design, building, built environment - from this perspective. The issue opens with an introduction to Arendt's political thinking, and how it is connected to the (production of) the world. Next, a variety of architects, including George Baird,

OASE Journal for Architecture (Paperback)

* Examines the resurgence of the architect's role as a repairer of buildings * What if the reusability of every element of a building was examined before it was used? In the crisis following the First World War (1929 - 1940), the Modern Movement of the 1920s supported a programme of social reform. This included the rationalization and industrialization of building processes, while efficient forms of construction were also an important source of architectural form. Nowadays, the need for economical building was based not only on purely financial considerations, but also on the limited availability of material and energy resources. In the process, 'building' increasingly becomes a practice of 'repairing'. Remodeling and building on represents a paradigm shift for the discipline of architecture, with architects having to reinvent themselves as bricoleurs, tinkerers or simply as repair experts. This requires not only the latest technology, but also age-old knowledge. Drawing on

OASE (Paperback)

* Architecture needs books, and vice versa * Exciting critical viewpoints on buildings and publications * The first-ever study of book reviews in architecture In this issue of OASE, the history of the architectural book review is outlined through 25 case studies from the eighteenth century until today. The properties are studied of a genre that is more or less generally available, intended for a shifting audience of architects, interested readers and historians. The main aim is to reveal how the book relates to the architecture practice, and how this relationship has evolved. The book review is a trenchant opportunity to look back on production in the distant or recent past, and to speculate about the future.

Oase 113 (Paperback)

What does the author's 'owning' of a project mean? And does this sense of ownership still prevail in contemporary architecture culture? Is the concept of individual authorship not a cul-de-sac, preventing the processes of invention and innovative thinking often necessary for addressing a practice that is more collaborative than ever? What, then, might be the essential argument for retaining the concept of authorship in architecture today? Perhaps the most resounding argument is this: authorship is not only an act that implies originality, it is also a deeply felt commitment to a work that until its realisation belonged only to the author, but to which he or she is also completely devoted. Wouldn't it be more interesting to imagine the concept of the author in architecture as a space of possibility, as a field in which the responsibility, the commitment, even being completely absorbed by the work of invention, is distributed among several heads and hands? Oase 113 wants to take a

Futuring Spaces of Possibility (Paperback)

Futuring Spaces of Possibility explores how contemporary art and architecture address urban, social and ecological challenges and create new possibilities for the future city. It invites urban theorists, curators, artists and architects to use Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as a testbed for new spatial imaginaries. How to deal with transformation and degrowth in a city whose boundaries have been shaped by its medieval history? How to question dominant histories, use underutilised public space and set in motion new cohabitations in the city? This book is published on the occasion of Bruges Triennial 2024: Spaces of Possibility, curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevie Tsampalla. Featuring contributions by the twelve artists and architects in the exhibition, it offers insights into the research processes behind the commissions, through texts, archival images, preparatory sketches and interviews. Newly commissioned essays address issues of urban transformation and the role that

And it was not good anymore (Paperback)

The ecofeminist theologies of Sallie McFague and Catherine Keller are seemingly opposed to the dialectical theology of Kornelis Heiko Miskotte. In this study, their theologies are brought into a staged discussion to address the question of how we might think about the relationship between God and the more-than-human nature of our times. An ecofeminist theology that acknowledges God's alterity in the intimacy of the flesh, offers a prophetic way to relate to the endangerment of life on Earth. McFAGUE and KELLER propose an image of God that is bodily and immanently interconnected with the more-than-human nature. Such an image of God, which implies thinking beyond human centrism, is significant in our context of ecological crisis. Like his theological friend Karl Barth, MISKOTTE rejected natural theology, but he is also known for his intense love of 'nature' and unwavering valuation of earthly life. Although he thought of God as entirely different, Miskotte believed that God is also

Integrated Urban River Corridors (Paperback)

This PhD thesis focuses on Urban River Corridors (URCs) as spaces of social-ecological integration par excellence-that is, spaces where the interaction between the urban systems (carrying the 'social-') and the river system (carrying the '-ecological') is (potentially) the most intense. The general hypothesis is that with an integrated spatial understanding, planning and design of rivers and the urban fabric surrounding them, cities could become more resilient, not just to flood-related disturbances, but to general chronic stresses as well. Hence, the thesis addresses a number of spatial problems arising from the loss of synergy between the natural dynamics of rivers and the spatial configuration and composition of urban areas that they cross, namely: the relationship between fluvial geomorphology and urban morphology weakened by river-taming operations; the physical barrier caused by riverside vehicular traffic; the latent flood risk built up through resistance-based flood-protection

OASE 111 (Paperback)

Museums not only facilitate encounters among visitors, objects and stories, but they also facilitate the staging of these visits. They organize tours of the exhibition spaces as well as provide additional publicly accessible spaces, including entrances, corridors, auditoriums and museum cafés. In nineteenth-century monumental art museums, the transition from city to museum interior was dramatized. Climbing the stairs of Schinkel's Altes Museum in Berlin or traversing the pergola between the ponds in Berlage's Kunstmuseum in The Hague urges visitors to leave the everyday world behind. The post-war, 'barrier-free' museum, with squares and streets inside and out, seems to want to abolish this city-museum boundary. At the same time, other internal boundaries are being revised, namely those between front stage and backstage. Depots are being made accessible and visitors can now take a look inside restoration studios. This edition of OASE examines how historical and contemporary buildings
