Abstract
This note is a summary of the contributions of the authors to the variational viewpoint on homogenization. After providing a broad context, two recent projects are discussed in detail: one concerning the large-scale behavior of quasicrystals, and the other involving phase transitions in periodically heterogeneous media.
