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 – nowadays, more than ever, the construction of a building seems to be dominated by an ecological awareness. According to the editors ecological practices in architecture must not only be effective in providing solutions, but inevitably raise questions of beauty, affection and perception as well. By focusing on the intersection between ecology and aesthetics in architecture, OASE situates the thinking about such issues at the heart of the discipline. Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in this issue explore the field of tension between architectural aesthetics and issues of energy, technology and materiality.
