CLOG: The Apple Issue

Launching today, the second issue of CLOG explores Apple's influence in architecture throughout diverse contributions.

Examining a single subject relevant to contemporary architecture per issue, CLOG's second volume launches today. Over fifty contributions discuss the influence Apple has had on architecture, exploring diverse topics such as Steve Jobs' childhood Eichler home, recycling of Apple products, the evolution of the Apple store, Apple's central role in the development of glass engineering, and the Cupertino headquarters design by Foster + Partners.

"The contributions range from short essays, to cartoons, to statistical information about Apple's widespread influence," says CLOG editor Julia van den Hout. "We also have an interview with Ronald Wayne, who was one of the original co-founders of Apple Computer, together with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak."

The launch event will take place 17 February at Van Alen Books. CLOG editors and The Office of PlayLab Inc. will introduce a comprehensive discussion of Apple's architecture.

In a world of high-speed publication and consumption of architectural imagery, CLOG believes exposure has taken the place of thoughtful engagement in architectural discussion. The magazine seeks to bring back debate, focusing on one single topic per issue, from multiple viewpoints and through a variety of means.

CLOG is currently working on their third issue, which will be out in May. Focusing on data centers, the volume will take a closer look at this completely new building type.
