Résumé:
Has architectural criticism disappeared for good or has it adapted to the pressures, exigencies, and fashions of the present? Its demise may be due to fibrillation or asthenia, to excessive sharp judgment, condemnation, and critique, or, conversely, to a resigned acceptance of reality. But should the eclipse of criticism today be regarded as lamentable? Might not its lack be hailed as a new phase of rigor and objectivity? The objective of both the lecture series "The future or the eclipse of criticism" presented at the MAXXI Museum in Rome, and the eponymous symposium which took place at the University of Pisa’s School of Engineering was to identify those figures, exhibitions, publication projects, and paradigmatic constructions that have either supported or directed particular critical approaches.

Résumé:
From the Norwegian seaside to the Ethiopian highlands; from the Bavarian Forest to the Taiwanese coast; from Venice to the Las Vegas Venetian, Log 61 travels in pursuit of architecture. In this open summer issue, Christopher Pierce visits cabins designed by Kastler Skjeseth Architects, and Motuma Tulu drives across southern Ethiopia to document informal architecture; Tim Altenhof rides along with architect Peter Haimerl to see his unique housing and restoration work while Thomas Daniell wrestles with the appendages of RUR Architecture’s Kaohsiung Port Terminal; and in Venice, Lina Malfona contemplates Tadao Ando’s exhibition design for painter Zeng Fanzhi, and behind the Venetian, Cameron Wu assess the geometric problems of Populous’s Sphere. Jimenez Lai checks out the architectural follies at Coachella, and Ben Fehrman-Lee sees the Frederick Kiesler exhibition in New York.
