uncube is based in Berlin and published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online portal covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.
One year after our Urban Commons issue, we’re returning to the idea of the communal, this time investigating just how diversely the concept of “commune” can be interpreted – and not always with entirely benevolent intentions or successful results.
Whether trying to escape a broken economy or an oppressive system via new forms of existence or looking to break the system itself via anarchic methodologies, forming a commune traditionally involves segregation or stepping “outside” society.
But no matter how off-grid and back-to-nature the contemporary communities that we investigate here are, it turns out they are far more connected than we think.
Turn on, tune out, drop in.
