About this Item

Log 19 tracks the reemergence of social considerations in architectural discourse, questioning what role architecture can and should play in society. The parametric is alternatively valorized and disavowed; Ron Arad s new museum is ransacked while Office KGDVS is coaxed from its silence; 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.
