About Log:
Founded in 2003, Log is an independent journal on architecture and the contemporary city that presents criticism and commentary in a literary format designed to resist the seductive power of the image in media while identifying and elaborating the central concerns of architectural thinking and production today. A carefully crafted compendium of essays, interviews, and brief "observations," Log provides an ongoing international platform for the exchange of ideas, both bearing on and emanating from architecture and the city, among a curious audience of readers, including architects, designers, students, scholars, and artists. Published three times a year, general "open" issues are punctuated by occasional thematic issues on prescient topics.
In this issue:
Summer 2024
From the Norwegian seaside to the Ethiopian highlands; from the Bavarian Forest to the Taiwanese coast; from Venice to the Las Vegas Venetian, Log 61 travels in pursuit of architecture. In this open summer issue, Christopher Pierce visits cabins designed by Kastler Skjeseth Architects, and Motuma Tulu drives across southern Ethiopia to document informal architecture; Tim Altenhof rides along with architect Peter Haimerl to see his unique housing and restoration work while Thomas Daniell wrestles with the appendages of RUR Architecture’s Kaohsiung Port Terminal; and in Venice, Lina Malfona contemplates Tadao Ando’s exhibition design for painter Zeng Fanzhi, and behind the Venetian, Cameron Wu assess the geometric problems of Populous’s Sphere. Jimenez Lai checks out the architectural follies at Coachella, and Ben Fehrman-Lee sees the Frederick Kiesler exhibition in New York.
Log 61 also includes the (more) speculative travels of the theoretical mind, with Iman Ansari advocating a program of action, Kristine Chung investigating parasitic cell towers, and Andrew Witt digging into the avant-garde proposals of Doug Michels and Ant Farm. The issue features 10 short observations, which range from book and exhibition reviews to 5G infrastructure and the ever-changing streetscape. It concludes with a trio of ending: Todd Gannon marks the end of an era with the passing of José Oubrerie, André Patrão questions what it means to speak of the “end” of architecture, and Justin Beal imagines an architecture that forestalls the “end of the world.”
