Summary:
''Calls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,'' writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57. Well-meaning equity and inclusion programs often simply ''associate the mere presence of Black bodies with institutional change.'' In Log 57, a 208-page thematic issue titled ''Black is . . . an’ Black ain’t . . .,'' 29 authors explore the complexities of Blackness as it relates to aesthetics and architectural pedagogy. As Fields notes, ''In calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.'' To that end, Log 57 gathers essays and reflections on architectural pedagogies, both in academia and in practice, by Sean Canty, Michelle JaJa Chang, Ajay Manthripragada, and Mónica Ponce de León, among others. Projects by young designers for whom methodological concepts of Black Signification and bricolage are central are presented in a four-color section, and built works and a preservation effort channel difference as a generative force in real-world communities. ''This work demonstrates what is possible when methodological change is real,'' writes Fields. ''Real change, like Blackness, makes us nervous. Black difference, however, is revolutionary.''

Summary:
This new edition of Mike Davis’s work gives an update on Los Angeles as the city hits the 21st century. No metropolis has been more loved or more hated. To its official boosters, “Los Angeles brings it all together.” To detractors, LA is a sunlit mortuary where “you can rot without feeling it.” To Mike Davis, the author of this wide-ranging work of social history, Los Angeles is both utopia and dystopia, a place where the last Joshua trees are being plowed under to make room for model communities in the desert, where the rich have hired their own police to fend off street gangs, as well as armed Beirut militias. In "City of quartz", Davis reconstructs LA’s shadow history and dissects its ethereal economy. He tells us who has the power and how they hold on to it. He gives us a city of Dickensian extremes, Pynchonesque conspiracies, and a desperation straight out of Nathaniel West—a city in which we may glimpse our own future mirrored with terrifying clarity. In this new edition, Davis provides an update on the city’s current status.
