Résumé:
To mark Log’s 20 years of observing architecture and the contemporary city, former guest editors and current editorial protagonists were invited to interview someone whose work resonates with their current thinking or concerns, or even with what keeps them up at night. The conversations they initiated range from designing with AI to AI’s possible future consciousness; from natural French wine to Indigenous Mexican textiles; from building architecture to theorizing architecture; from corruption in the building industry to untold histories. Literary critic Caroline Levine calls for activism; urbanist Milton S.F. Curry says it’s a time for manifestos; and artist Ursula Biemann brings our relationship to a changing Earth System into sharper view.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Log 20, published on the occasion of the 12th Venice Architecture Biennale, considers curating architecture both within its contemporary guises and historical lineage. Practitioners from New York to Paris, Montreal to Tokyo propose curating as advocacy, as atmosphere, and as architecture itself, assembling in this special thematic issue what is arguably the first compendium of contemporary practices on this emerging discourse.

Résumé:
The absurd gets serious about the seemingly irrational side of architecture. Guest edited by Michael Meredith of MOS, this special thematic issue identifies the funny, ugly, contradictory, and more fuzzy realms of architecture, disavowing the purported orderliness of disciplinary presumptions to uncloak the implausibility at its core and present new possibilities for experimentation.

Résumé:
At the turn of the millennium--the end of a calibrated period of time--it seems necessary to ask certain questions, foremost among them: Anymore? Anymore history and theory? Anymore architecture? Of particular concern are the last two hundred years, a self-conscious period known as modernism. Can we assume that a simple calendar change signals an end or a time of end? Is there anymore? The contributions in "Anymore" are by architects, critics, historians, philosophers, sociologists, urbanists, and others. They include Akira Asada, Hubert Damisch, Peter Eisenman, Arata Isozki, Rem Koolhaas, Rosalind Krauss, Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Mark C. Taylor, Bernard Tschumi, and Anthony Vidler, as well as young architects from France whose work many American readers will encounter here for the first time. Anymore is the ninth book in the ongoing series that began in 1991 with "Anyone" and was followed by "Anywhere", "Anyway", "Anyplace", "Anywise", "Anybody", "Anyhow", and "Anytime". Each volume is based on a conference at which architects and leaders in other fields come together to present papers and discuss a particular idea in architecture from a cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspective. The conference upon which "Anymore" is based took place in Paris in June 1999 and will be followed by "Anything".

Résumé:
Guest edited by architect Greg Lynn, Log 36: ROBOLOG explores the challenges and potentials posed to architecture by the rapidly accelerating field of robotics. Tossing aside the usual fabrication-focused discourse around robots, the 23 contributors to ROBOLOG investigate topics ranging from hyperrealistic robotic drag queens to machine vision to buildings that move.
