UNCUBE MAGAZINE NO. 38: DEATH

03 NOV 2015

This month we climbed the stairway, paid the ferryman and took a return trip to the Great Beyond to

bring you uncube issue no. 38: Death.

Indulge with us in some sepulchral contemplation from the pragmatics of cremation with Owen

Hatherley to the giddy imaginings of immortality and architecture of the afterlife as recounted by

Herbert Wright.

We also have a touching and inspiring interview with Charles Jencks about how architecture can

foster hope in the face of our own mortality.

The lesson we brought back is that building for death is as much about the living as it is about

the dearly departed. It is about how we design, occupy and ritualise the structures intended to

accommodate the last act in the hatch, match and dispatch trilogy of civic duty.

See you on the other side…
