Beauty in architecture matters again. This issue of AD posits that
after 80 years of aggressive suppression of engagement with
aesthetics, the temporarily dormant preoccupation with beauty is
back. This is evidenced by a current cultural shift from the
supposedly objective to an emerging trust in the subjective - a
renewed fascination for aesthetics supported by new knowledge
emanating simultaneously from disparate disciplines. Digital design
continues to influence architectural discourse, not only due to
changes in manufacturing but also through establishing meaning. The
very term 'post-digital' was introduced by computational designers
and artists, who accept that digital gains in architectural design
are augmented by human judgement and cognitive intuition. The issue
takes an interdisciplinary approach to this re-emerging interest in
beauty across neuroscience, neuroaesthetics, mathematics,
philosophy and architecture, while discussing the work of the
international architects, in both practice and academe, who are
generating new aesthetics. Contributors: Alisa Andrasek, Izaskun
