Log 19 brims with informed debate and argument on the state of architecture today. Like the models for the invited international design competition for the Dance and Music Center in The Hague, these articles, when taken together, can be understood as a cross-section of how one makes architecture now. Is it as form? Function? Material? Cost? Context? Politics? What are the limits of representation in architecture? Log 19 takes parametrics to task, considers the consequences of climate change and environmental catastrophe, while examining the physical edges and conceptual boundaries of architecture. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

About this title

Synopsis

Georges Teyssot unravels J. Mayer H.'s sinuous Metropol Parasol project in Seville; Allan Weiss meditates on the garden at Ryoan-ji; Eric Owen Moss pays homage to Raimund Abraham; Tom Weaver reads poetry and the tedious prose of Leon Krier's Poundbury; Wes Jones reconsiders architecture as a game; Thomas de Monchaux writes on ''Rising Currents'' and the unexceptional reconstruction of Downtown Manhattan; plus observations on orphic Modernism in the forests of Asuncion, the flatness of Herzog & de Meuron's sets for ''Attila,'' a portfolio from the Hague, and more.
