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.
