OASE 85
Productive Uncertainty
Indeterminacy in Spatial Design, Planning and Management

OASE 85

The economic crisis of the last few years has had an impact on the domain of spatial planning and architectural practice. This is why OASE finds it imperative to pose the question of how the designer can put this uncertainty to productive use. In other words, is there potential for the design in the unstable and changing societal and urban context?

Cultural Emergency in Conflict and Disaster

Cultural Emergency in Conflict and Disaster

'All that we’re wrecking is stones,’ was the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar’s description of the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamyan, the largest standing statues of Buddha in the world. The priority of the fighters was not smashing stones, but breaking the soul of a culture, the spirit of people who venerated other gods.

Lars Spuybroek
The Sympathy of Things
Ruskin and the Ecology of Design

The Sympathy of Things

'We have to find our way back to beauty,’ writes Lars Spuybroek in the introduction to The Sympathy of Things. In this book Spuybroek argues that we must ‘undo’ the twentieth century – the age of minimalism, abstraction and genocides. This leads him to the aesthetical insight of the nineteenth-century English art critic John Ruskin, from which he distils pointers for our time.

Lukas Feireiss, Ole Bouman
Testify! The Consequences of Architecture

Testify!

A skateboarding school in Kabul, a cinema in Jenin, murals in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, a garden in Paris and a museum in Japan – what difference do such projects make to the daily lives of the people who use them? Lukas Feireiss has brought together about 30 examples from five continents to literally present the proof of the ways architecture can transform our everyday surroundings.
