Observations on architecture and the contemporary city
For the first time since its founding in 2003, Log is now available digitally. The independent New York-based journal on architecture and the contemporary city, until now a print-only publication, can also be purchased with a one-year, three-issue PDF subscription or as single-issue PDFs. This includes sold-out back issues such as Log 34: The Food Issue, Log 42: Disorienting Phenomenology, and Log 47: Overcoming Carbon Form.
Log’s literary format, originally conceived to resist the seductive power of the image, is an edited compendium of critical essays, interviews, and brief observations that explore current concerns in architectural thinking and production. The newly available PDF subscription and single-issue PDFs are offered in the spirit of a truly international platform for architectural discourse without the added costs or lengthy delays incurred with shipping, let alone the carbon footprint of worldwide distribution.
PDF subscribers will be automatically e-mailed a PDF of Log when the issues are published in the spring, summer, and late fall. Subscriptions can start with the current issue Log 52—which includes a discussion between David Adjaye, Thelma Golden, and Rick Lowe, reviews by Charles L. Davis II, Kurt W. Forster, Kyle Miller, Thomas de Monchaux, and Whitney Moon, interviews with Elizabeth Grosz and Emilio Ambasz, and much more—or the forthcoming thematic issue Log 53: Perché Italia Ora?—in which architects, philosophers, journalists, and historians, from Giorgio Agamben to Ingrid Rowland, An Tairan to Paulette Singley, make new discoveries in the seemingly well-trodden ground of Italy. PDF subscriptions will also include Log 54, a thematic issue guest edited by Ana Miljački and Ann Lui on the idea of coauthorship in architecture, to be published next year.
