log 17 , “the superficial issue,” explores issues of form, sensation, mood, styling, and affect in architecture while creating some distance from the contemporary hangups of sustainability, scientific data, and process. the issue contains excellent writings by sylvia lavin, david erdman, and the not to be missed essay “hair and makeup” by jason payne. there are also three illuminating conversations with participants including thom mayne, hernan diaz alonso, marcelo spina, elena manferdini, peter zellner, tom wiscombe, and kivi sotamaa.
