OASE 125

This issue of OASE reframes architectural reuse as a dynamic, time-based design practice, drawing on Marvin Trachtenberg’s concept of ‘building in time‘ to explore how projects evolve through layered interventions rather than fi xed completion. Through a series of richly illustrated building portraits, it presents contemporary architects who engage reuse as a step-by-step, open-ended process—balancing past traces with future possibilities while questioning authorship, aesthetics, and ethics. Featuring projects from across Europe, Asia, and beyond, the issue brings diverse cultural perspectives into dialogue, offering a compelling and timely rethinking of how architecture can adapt, accumulate meaning, and remain responsive over time.
