Founded in 2003, Log is an independent journal on architecture and the contemporary city that presents criticism and commentary in a literary format designed to resist the seductive power of the image in media-while identifying and elaborating the central concerns of architectural thinking and production today. A carefully crafted compendium of essays, interviews, and brief "observations," Log provides an ongoing international platform for the exchange of ideas, both bearing on and emanating from architecture and the city, for a curious audience of readers, including architects, designers, students, scholars, and artists. Published three times a year, Log celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2013 with special thematic issues on the city, "stocktaking," and the pursuit of an architectural project, 2003-2013.
