    uncube is based in Berlin and is published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online portal covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.

  As the days shorten and the shadows lengthen, uncube takes a nocturnal turn as we explore the architecture of the night – and beyond. This December issue digs into the fear and the pull of dark places and the light we bring to them: for entertainment, for illumination, for experimentation and for life. From building for the Arctic winter and giant underground neutrino detectors to place-hacking abandoned buildings, illuminated façades and grungy  nightclubs…this is our darkest issue yet.
