uncube's editors are Sophie Lovell (Art Director, Editor-in-Chief), Florian Heilmeyer, Rob Wilson and Elvia Wilk. Graphic design: Lena Giavanazzi.
uncube is based in Berlin and is published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online magazine covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.
Sparkly ‘best friend’, polluting power source, invisible planetary threat, basis of all life. Ever-present in all its forms – diamond, coal, CO2, protein – in this issue of uncube we’re getting molecular with the sixth element: carbon.
From the ever-changing design paradigms afforded by material advances, such as flying carbon fibre super yachts and macramé rope chairs, to our current tautological obsession with ‘carbon-zero’ buildings, now is definitely the time to zoom in on carbon.
But it’s not all about ultra-new superpowered carbon nano-materials – there are still those elementary acts of burning a wooden plank or drawing with charcoal. We’ll always find a way to use carbon.
Go on, get your fingers dirty.
