Log 13/14

Log 13/14, a special double issue, examines the events and aftershocks of 1968 via the subsequent development of architectural and cultural movements over two generations. The 27 entries include: a reassessment of the collapse of the XIVth Triennale in Milan; renascent forms of Beaux-Arts planning in Paris; the semi-mythic origins of contemporary Dubai; NASA's attempt to design the perfect space suit; and the political potential of the building envelope today. Log also revisits seminal statements from Paul Virilio and Yona Friedman on the nature of the 1968 protests in Paris. Both a retrospective and a critique of past and present-day radical architectural and cultural paradigms, Log 13/14 includes essays and texts by: Jean-Louis Cohen; Peter Eisenman; Sylvia Lavin; Markus Miessen; Paola Nicolin; John David Rhodes; Lukasz Stanek; Robert Venturi; Anthony Vidler; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo among others.
