Mayer H.'s sinuous Metropol Parasol project in Seville; Allan Weiss meditates on the garden at Ryoan-ji; Eric Owen Moss pays homage to Raimund Abraham; Tom Weaver reads poetry and the tedious prose of Leon Krier's Poundbury; Wes Jones reconsiders architecture as a game; Thomas de Monchaux writes on ''Rising Currents'' and the unexceptional reconstruction of Downtown Manhattan; plus observations on orphic Modernism in the forests of Asuncion, the flatness of Herzog & de Meuron's sets for ''Attila,'' a portfolio from the Hague, and more.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Log 19 brims with informed debate and argument on the state of architecture today. Like the models for the invited international design competition for the Dance and Music Center in The Hague, these articles, when taken together, can be understood as a cross-section of how one makes architecture now. Is it as form? Function? Material? Cost? Context? Politics? What are the limits of representation in architecture? Log 19 takes parametrics to task, considers the consequences of climate change and environmental catastrophe, while examining the physical edges and conceptual boundaries of architecture. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Mezzotint on chine colle laid on thick wove paper. State ii or iii/iii with 'proof' added to the engraved insciption: "Painted by J. Graham. *** Engraved by T. Hodgetts./ Joseph Hume, Esq.r M.P./ *** *** Proof/ London. Published June 1. 1823, by Mr. Graham, 63 Upper Charlotte Str. Fitzroy Sq." In excellent condition apart from some light foxing in the margins outside the platemark. Image size: 17 3/4 x 13 13/16 inches. A wonderfully robust portrait of Joseph Hume, the radical political reformer. Joseph Hume (1777 - 1855) began his career at 20 as a surgeon for the Dutch East India Company in India. He returned to Europe in 1808 with a fortune. He wrote a prose translation of Dante's Inferno. Then he began a political career, buying a place in parliament and rapidly moving on to become one of the leading radicals in parliament, though a fiscal conservative. Hume was a leader on almost all the reform issues of the day. He fought for repeal of the Combination Acts (laws against labor unions) and for Catholic emancipation, financial retrenchment, parliamentary reform, freedom of the press, free trade, colonial self-government, and disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. Hume tirelessly fought for the rights of the under-served, and through his passion and diligence brought about many changes in British policy. (DNB) Hodgetts' beautiful mezzotint portrait shows the reformer in the classic parliamentarian pose of command, looking to the future, ready for an adversity, with a hand on recent legislation.
