Log 40 assembles a wide-ranging collection of thoughtful essays on some of the most urgent questions and debates in architecture today, bringing them into dialogue with those of architecture s recent past. The legacy and current status of architectural images are considered from radically different vantages, in Brett Steele s anecdotal discourse on Zaha Hadid s 1983 painting The World (89 Degrees) , John May s exacting dissection of architecture after imaging, and Hana Gründler s exploration of the ethical implications of drawing borderlines. The issue features commentary by two contemporary architects on contemporary V. Mitch McEwen on David Adjaye s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, and Elisabetta Terragni on OMA s Fondazione Prada in Milan. Other highlights include an excerpt from Noah s Ark , the new collection of Hubert Damisch s singular writings on architecture; a lively response by Mark Foster Gage to Michael Meredith s recent Log essay on indifference; and a sampling of new domestic objects designed by architects.
