Uncube's editors are Elvia Wilk, Florian Heilmeyer, Jessica Bridger, and Rob Wilson. Uncube is based in Berlin and is published by BauNetz, Germany's most-read online magazine covering architecture in a thoughtful way since 1996.
Whether a quiet place of contemplation, a secret hideaway, a forgotten place, or simply burying yourself in a book, going to an “off place” is sometimes the only way to get yourself back on track.
But does it need infrastructure, buildings, architecture? If so, what can be built that doesn’t destroy what you went there for in the first place? As Todd Saunders puts it in our interview with him: “Out in the landscape, you really appreciate things. You shouldn’t actually build there. You can’t really improve it.”
We say: go for it. Get off the map. Maybe you won’t want to get back at all after reading this issue packed with fantastic off spaces – from the far-flung to the under-the-nose – and an exciting debut feature: Klaus’ Kube, our new monthly cartoon – pricking an architectural bubble or two.
Have a good trip through the issue!
