    Oase
    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.

    The history of architecture is often read in terms of periods that each have their own zeitgeist and movements that each have their own architectural language. What happens if we depart from this zeitgeist concept and use a cyclical history model instead? In the 1970s and 1980s, this question was usually considered from the seemingly mutually exclusive points of view of the modern, the anti-modern and the postmodern positions. The lines dividing these positions were also directly linked to certain formal-aesthetic choices, even in terms of the care of existing buildings and the preservation of monuments, in which the boundary between new and old is arbitrary by definition. Over the past two decades, contemporary European architecture developed a different frame of reference, one in which the horizon is no longer provided by the architecture of the modern movement. Historical typological principles, compositional approaches and material logic are also experienced as modern and they provide the starting point for the design. OASE 109 traces how, against the background of this broadening frame of reference, a different understanding of modernity emerged.

  • Table Settings. Reflections on Architecture with Hannah Arendt
    Item type: Journal Issue
    (2020)

    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.

    This article urges the necessity to reflect upon architecture - as a professional field as well as in its meaning of 'the built environment' - from a perspective outside this professional and academic field. It also argues why the writings of philosopher Hannah Arendt, even though she did not examine architecture per se, offer a fruitful starting point for such an endeavour.
