Lee, Leigh Theodore Vlassis (our own in-house Australian) and Fiona Shipwright; graphic design: Lena Giavanazzi; graphics assistance: Madalena Guerra. uncube is based in Berlin and is published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online portal covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.

     

  Welcome to the continent of contradictions: home to some of the very oldest and very youngest human cultures in the world, some of the hottest, driest, most inhospitable places on earth and the lushest, wettest, most diverse of biospheres. One thing you’re sure to notice throughout uncube’s Australia issue is the complex interplay between the soft and the loud, the old and the new – and those mad shapes!
  
   
  
  We’ve had our long-distance intel network on full alert for months and picked a range of local contributors to give us the lowdown on what makes architecture tick in the landscape between the Never Never and the ‘burbs. So join us as we travel the uncube way to the land down under: no kangaroos, no boomerangs, no cricket and only one koala – but a whole feast of surprises.
