Log 31: New Ancients recognizes the sudden reappearance of history in the work of an emerging group of architects, curators, theorists, and, of course, historians. Drawing a parallel with the 17th- century quarrel between the Ancients and Moderns at the Academie franc aise, guest editors Dora Epstein Jones and Bryony Roberts present the work of practitioners who explore the contemporary possibilities of history. This Spring/Summer 2014 issue particularly emphasizes drawing that synthesizes technology and precedent, including a Piranesi-inspired digital reimagining of Istanbul and an animated analytic drawing of Borromini s San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane linked via a QR code in the magazine. In this issue Mark Jarzombek promotes literalist Pop-Arch; Sarah Whiting speaks on formalism; Jorge Otero-Pailos shoots a bullet through an apple; Sarah Blankenbaker challenges objecthood with perspective; Jason Payne theorizes the Albanian bunker; Zeynep C elik Alexander probes data as architectural knowledge; Andrew Atwood outlines a discourse of rendering; Urtzi Grau &amp; Cristina Goberna embrace copies; Emmanuel Petit suggests a history of volumetric precedents; Anna Neimark links Beaux-Arts drafting to constructivism; and William O Brien Jr. explores anachronistic formalisms. Plus: Daniel Sherer on the tensions between the architectural project and the historical project; Enrique Walker on scaffolding; and commentaries on the King s Gambit, self-portraits, and drawing spheres; even a proposal for rebuilding the Acropolis ramp. In short, a look into history s history as a way to circumvent the paradigm of constant mechanical innovation.

From classical sculpture to video game graphics, from Renaissance frescoes to Instagrammable buildings, Log 46 (Summer 2019) brings together architects, artists, and historians, both new and established voices, who examine the multiple forces that shape architectural discourse. In this open issue, David Gissen discusses new research on ancient civilizations; Viola Ago assesses compositional physics; Sharel Liu investigates how coliving spaces attempt to build community; Jimenez Lai explores architects relationships with irony and sincerity; Charles Waldheim revisits the avant-garde qualities of the airport jet bridge; and Mark Foster Gage and Michael Meredith spar over categories in architecture. Log 46 also features a number of pieces that rethink architectural surfaces: Ivi Diamantopoulou challenges architects to look up at the ceiling, Camilo José Vergara documents anonymous street art, Patrick Templeton reports on a drawing machine, and Adam Longenbach empowers misreadings of the US-Mexico border wall. This issue also includes fiction by David Heymann, an interview with OMA s Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli by Andrés Ramirez, a look at the TWA Hotel by Cynthia Davidson, book reviews by Edward Eigen and Philip Ursprung, a letter from Bangkok by François Roche, a new appraisal of Dante and Bramante by Pier Paolo Tamburelli, and Thomas Daniell s translation of Tadao Ando's first published essay.

The most amazing thing about this novel new wine map is how clearly it shows France's complex wine regions. Created by architectural historian and wine buff Dr. David Gissen, it's fun, great looking and wonderfully informative. Note: The item called as the Metro Wine Map of France because it depicts the wine regions of France as train stops on train lines as on a metro map. The title printed on the map says Wines of France because it is obvious from the graphics on the map that it is a metro map. The map is 18 by 24 inches, expertly printed on heavyweight acid-free archival paper.
