Log 26 draws together an array of writers who offer ideas for understanding, judging, inspiring, and making architecture. Exhibiting the countless roles and meanings conferred upon architecture concurrent with contemporary prognoses for design and theory, the Fall 2012 issue presents a discursively rich picture of the present, with critical looks at recent projects around the world, cautious and hopeful approaches to digital and open-source design, as well as abstractions, aphorisms, and literary treatments of architecture.
