CLOG

Online press, blogs, tweets, social media, and other digital forums have drastically increased the speed at which architectural imagery is distributed and consumed today. While an unprecedented amount of work is available to the public, the lifespan of any single design or topic has been reduced in the profession’s collective consciousness to a week, an afternoon, a single post--an endlessly changing architecture du jour. In the deluge, excellent projects and mediocre projects receive the same (fleeting) attention. Meanwhile, mere exposure has taken the place of thoughtful engagement, not to mention a substantive discussion.

CLOG slows things down. Each issue explores, from multiple viewpoints and through a variety of means, a single subject particularly relevant to architecture now. Succinctly, on paper, away from the distractions and imperatives of the screen.

From 2012-2015, I was an assistant editor at CLOG, contributing original research across several issues– Rendering, National Mall, Brutalism, SCI-FI, Unpublished, Miami, Prisons, Rem, World Trade Center, Guggenheim, and Landmark.

I'd like to thank everyone on the CLOG team who inspired me so much in such a short time: Kyle May, Jacob Reidel, Julia van den Hout, Jeffrey Franklin, Archie Lee Coates IV, Human Wu, Nancy Lin, Stephanie Lee, Margot Connor, Adam Koogler, Joey Swerdlin, Dorin Baul, and Adam Feldman.
