uncube's editors are Sophie Lovell (Art Director, Editor-in-Chief), Florian Heilmeyer, Rob Wilson and Elvia Wilk; editorial assistance: Fiona Shipwright; graphic design: Lena Giavanazzi.
uncube is based in Berlin and is published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online portal covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.
We eat them, we worship them, we share our lives, love, land and homes with them; animals occupy the architecture of our lives in so many ways. In this unashamedly zoophilic issue, we take a critical look at zoo architecture and the changing shape of human-made animal habitats, interview the extraordinary Temple Grandin about designing more humane structures for the millions of cattle sent to slaughter, and focus on functional – and just plain funky – examples of livestock living quarters down on the farm. Last but not least, we explore some extraordinary examples of animal-building that show nature to be still the greatest architect on the planet.
So cuddle up to our fluffiest issue yet, but watch out for the claws.
