\u201cCalls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,\u201d writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57. Well-meaning equity and inclusion programs often simply \u201cassociate the mere presence of Black bodies with institutional change.\u201d In Log 57, a 208-page thematic issue titled Black is . . . an\u2019 Black ain\u2019t . . ., 29 authors explore the complexities of Blackness as it relates to aesthetics and architectural pedagogy. As Fields notes, \u201cIn calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.\u201d
To that end, Log 57 gathers essays and reflections on architectural pedagogies, both in academia and in practice, by Sean Canty, Michelle JaJa Chang, Ajay Manthripragada, and M\u00f3nica Ponce de Le\u00f3n, among others. Projects by young designers for whom methodological concepts of Black Signification and bricolage are central are presented in a four-color section, and built works and a preservation effort channel difference as a generative force in real-world communities. \u201cThis work demonstrates what is possible when methodological change is real,\u201d writes Fields. \u201cReal change, like Blackness, makes us nervous. Black difference, however, is revolutionary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
