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, graphic 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.
ost-War, post-industrial and post-communist, Polska has certainly had its fair share of struggles and identity issues. But the past decade has seen a land best known for its industrial powerhouses turning instead to the production of cultural capital as a huge wave of investment in cultural infrastructure hits almost every Polish city.
So this month uncube hitched a ride east on the Berlin-Warszawa-Express to travel a land where grassroots activists are challenging mainstream politics and developers are vying with EU funding to create a whole new architectural landscape – one on which opinion in the country is sharply divided.
Special thanks to Polnisches Institut Berlin for their support.
