The 184 pages of Log 62 present all new authors, including 15 South Americans in a special section guest edited by Brazilian architect and critic Jaime Solares Carmona. Called Far South, the section observes contemporary architecture and criticism in South America by a generation that Solares calls “equidistant from the modernist ethos of previous generations while also distancing itself from a more radical critical approach that leans toward an ‘anthropologization' of architecture.”

Far South includes new English translations of seminal essays by architect and teacher Sérgio Ferro on brutalist architecture during the Brazilian dictatorship, and the late Argentine critic and theorist Marina Waisman's incisive analysis of critical regionalism. Argentine-born Florencia Rodríguez, director of the 2025 Chicago Biennial, discusses the dispersion of discourse, and in Bolivia, Guido Alejo Mamani documents Indigenous avant-garde aesthetics. In Brazil, Frederico Costa and Solares unpack the box as an urban typology, and Mariana Wilderom compares what she calls the “everyday monumentality” of São Paulo and Medellín, Colombia. In Chile, Alejandra Celedón grapples with architectural autonomy and social responsibility in the work of Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Alejandro Aravena, and Smiljan Radic; Carlos Eduardo Binato de Castro and Suelen Camerin examine houses by Radic and Miguel Eyquem Astorga; and José Luis Uribe Ortiz considers the role of local materials in building throughout South America. In Colombia, Plan: B Arquitectos outlines an agenda for “re-activism.” And in Ecuador, Mariana Alves Barbosa maps the global reach of women architects through the Architecture Biennial of Quito.

Also in Log 62, Michael Speaks remembers cultural critic Fredric Jameson and his contribution to architecture theory; Fernanda Canales looks at the 19th- and early 20th-century Home Improvement Movement to challenge architecture to do more rather than less; Manuel Álvarez Diestro records the need for air conditioners around the world; and Lachlan Summers investigates the lifespan of concrete in the face of earthquakes in Mexico City.[-]

ÉTÉ 2024

Du bord de mer norvégien aux hauts plateaux éthiopiens; de la forêt bavaroise à la côte taiwanaise; de Venise à la Venetian de Las Vegas, le Log 61 voyage à la poursuite de l'architecture. Dans ce numéro d'été ouvert, Christopher Pierce visite des cabines conçues par Kastler Skjeseth Architects, et Motuma Tulu conduit à travers le sud de l'Éthiopie pour documenter l'architecture informelle; Tim Altenhof fait des manèges avec l'architecte Peter Haimerl pour voir ses travaux uniques de logement et de restauration, tandis que Thomas Daniell lutte avec les appendices de Kaohsiung Port Terminal de RUR.Alors qu'il est derrière le Vénitien, Cameron Wu évalue les problèmes géométriques dans la sphère de Populous. Jimenez Lai vérifie les folies architecturales de Coachella, et Ben Fehrman-Lee voit l'exposition de Frederick Kiesler en
New York.
Le log 61 inclut également les voyages spéculatifs de l'esprit, Iman Ansari préconisant un programme d'action, Kristine Chung enquêtant sur les tours de cellules parasites, et Andrew Witt creusant dans les propositions d'avant-garde de Doug Michels et Ant Farm. La question est pare-chocs avec 10 brèves observations, qui vont des revues de livres et d'expositions à l'infrastructure 5G et à la campagne de rue en constante évolution, puis se termine par un trio de fins: Todd Gannon marque la fin d'une ère avec le décès de José Oubrerie, André Patroo se demande ce que signifie parler de la « fin » de l'architecture, et Justin Beal imagine une architecture qui embrasse le monde. À partir de ces fins, de nouveaux voyages commencent.[-]

L'architecture que nous habitons, les systèmes urbains dont nous dépendons et les paysages que nous transformons font tous partie de la technosphère", écrivent Albert Pope et Brittany Utting, rédacteurs invités de Log 60 : The Sixth Sphere. Pour eux, la sixième sphère est la technosphère, un système émergent créé par l'homme et enchevêtré avec les cinq sphères naturelles de la Terre : l'atmosphère, l'hydrosphère, la biosphère, la cryosphère et la lithosphère. "Considérée dans son ensemble, la technosphère comprend nos parcs d'engraissement et nos réseaux d'égouts, nos usines et nos logements, nos tarmacs et nos terres cultivées, et toutes les modifications que nous avons apportées au sol, aux glaciers, à la mer, à l'air et à la biosphère. C'est un paysage vaste et souvent banal. . . . Presque tout ce que nous faisons - préparer un repas, acheter une chemise, envoyer un message à un collègue, remplir une ordonnance, prendre un bain - nous le faisons par l'intermédiaire de la technosphère.[-]

“Calls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,” writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57. Well-meaning equity and inclusion programs often simply “associate the mere presence of Black bodies with institutional change.” In Log 57, a 208-page thematic issue titled Black is . . . an' Black ain't . . ., 29 authors explore the complexities of Blackness as it relates to aesthetics and architectural pedagogy. As Fields notes, “In calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.”
To that end, Log 57 gathers essays and reflections on architectural pedagogies, both in academia and in practice, by Sean Canty, Michelle JaJa Chang, Ajay Manthripragada, and Mónica Ponce de León, among others. Projects by young designers for whom methodological concepts of Black Signification and bricolage are central are presented in a four-color section, and built works and a preservation effort channel difference as a generative force in real-world communities. “This work demonstrates what is possible when methodological change is real,” writes Fields. “Real change, like Blackness, makes us nervous. Black difference, however, is revolutionary.”[-]

Fall 2022

This special issue is the cataLog for “Model Behavior,” a group exhibition of models, architectural and otherwise, curated by the Anyone Corporation and presented by The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at The Cooper Union, in New York City. The exhibition, which ran October 4–November 18, 2022, questioned the role of the model in projecting or eliciting social behavior. In addition to documenting the 55 exhibited works with four-color images and project descriptions, the 160-page cataLog includes essays by curator Cynthia Davidson; by architecture theorists Jörg H. Gleiter, Kiel Moe, and Christophe Van Gerrewey; and by art historian Annabel Jane Wharton.[-]

LOG 54: COAUTHORING
Log 54: Coauthoring gathers essays by and conversations with architects, curators, historians, and collectives that, as guest editors Ana Miljački and Ann Lui write, begin to “imagine the field of architecture orienting around coauthoring instead of authoring” and “challenge the model of architectural authorship that dominates both architectural discourse and the market.” In so doing, the contributors to this 176-page thematic issue “enter the space of political and identity negotiations to relinquish absolutes and to open up to multiple forms of agency.” These forms of agency manifest in numerous ways, from the Fluxus Manifesto to the words of an Enlightenment painter, from bats to spider webs, from cartography to geological deep time, from AI-generated toys to PowerPoint and Miro boards.

Miljački and Lui talk with Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers from Dream the Combine; J. Yolande Daniels and Amanda Williams from the Black Reconstruction Collective; architect and curator Andrés Jaque, and 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial curator David Brown about their collaborative practices. Sumayya Vally and Moad Musbahi transcribe site-specific music, while Curtis Roth uses gig workers' gestures to create paintings. The Architecture Lobby and Dark Matter University discuss the implications of coauthorship through their cowritten dialogues; Timothy Hyde and Lisa Haber-Thomson study Welsh building codes; Sarah Hirschman looks at US copyright law; and De Peter Yi and Laura Marie Peterson document how residents use the Detroit Land Bank. Historians Anna Bokov, S.E. Eisterer, and Michael Kubo recount coauthorship in Soviet education, resistance in gestapo prisons, and today's anonymous architectural megacorporation.[-]

Summer 2022

From a bridge to blockchain, Amazonian urbanism to artificial intelligence, Log 55 recognizes the vast concerns of architecture today. This 176-page open issue, which includes a 16-page color insert, compiles essays, building and exhibition reviews, and remarks by 25 architects, theorists, and artists from around the world. In Berlin, Tim Altenhof critiques the newly rebuilt Humboldt Forum; in Los Angeles, Victor J. Jones reviews Michael Maltzan's Ribbon of Light Viaduct; in New York, Cynthia Davidson visits the late Virgil Abloh's “social sculpture,” and Thomas de Monchaux views “Anthony Ames Fifty Paintings”; in Quito, Ana María Durán Calisto and Sanford Kwinter draw inspiration from Indigenous territorial intelligence; in Rotterdam, Christophe Van Gerrewey reflects on MVRDV's Boijmans Depot; in Taipei, Kwang-Yu King compares two new cultural venues by OMA and RUR; and in Tokyo, Jan Vranoský pens a postmortem for Kisho Kurokawa's Nakagin Capsule Tower. Matthew Allen looks to computer science for a way out of the theory-practice divide; Simone Brott considers the ways NFTs will change architectural practice; Karel Klein draws parallels between memory and AI; and Marija Marič warns against digitized real estate fractions.

In addition, a special section guest edited by Francesco Marullo is devoted to Notes on the Desert. The section, which raises issues of climate change and the extraction economy, includes essays by architect Nathan Friedman on the US-Mexico border, artist Kim Stringfellow on jackrabbit homesteads, feminist scholar Traci Brynne Voyles on the 49ers, and architect Lydia Xynogala speaking for a desert toad; photo essays by the Center for Land Use Interpretation on nuclear tombs and by photographer Susan Lipper on desert utopia; as well as an interview with photographer Richard Misrach on his Cantos series.[-]
