The impossibility of an adequate representation of the physical, especially the corporeal - from computer-generated visual vocabulary to the most hackneyed poetry - is

The Pavilion’s structure, with its rounded classical arches and majestic visual axes, on the one hand, and clear, rational forms and modern construction materials, on the other, moves between the poles of historicism and modernism. At the same time, Zobernig’s intervention connects inside and outside, to create an enclosed site where one can linger and reflect on human presence in space.

“Calls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,” writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57.

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.”
