Summary:
In Unlocking the Church, William Whyte explores a forgotten revolution in social and architectural history and in the history of the Church. He details the architectural and theological debates of the day, explaining how the Tractarians of Oxford and the Ecclesiologists of Cambridge were embroiled in the aesthetics of architecture, and how the Victorians profoundly changed the ways in which buildings were understood and experienced. No longer mere receptacles for worship, churches became active agents in their own rights, capable of conveying theological ideas and designed to shape people's emotions. These church buildings are now a challenge: their maintenance, repair or repurposing are pressing problems for parishes in age of declining attendance and dwindling funds. By understanding their past, unlocking the secrets of their space, there might be answers in how to deal with the legacy of the Victorians now and into the future.

Summary:
Despite climate catastrophes, increasing inequality and growing geopolitical instability, architecture remains stubbornly optimistic about the future. More than this: it usually sees itself as the discipline best capable of showing society a way out of disaster. Optimism seems to be a genuine "strategy" that strongly shapes architectural and urban design practice. We can(...)

Summary:
Despite climate catastrophes, increasing inequality and growing geopolitical instability, architecture remains stubbornly optimistic about the future. More than this: it usually sees itself as the discipline best capable of showing society a way out of disaster. Optimism seems to be a genuine "strategy" that strongly shapes architectural and urban design practice. We can hardly imagine a different – and hopefully better – built future if we are not optimistic about it and believe in it ourselves. This issue of OASE focuses on the specific position of optimism in architecture and urban design. Where in the design and construction process is it hiding? In what circumstances does it rear its head? What causes it to be sidelined? How do design practices change under the yoke of optimism? How do boldly optimistic choices manifest in projects? And how persistent is this ever-good-natured optimism in the face of a fickle reality?
