Uncube Magazine is going Frei-form this month!

Or more precisely, Uncube is celebrating the form-finding genius and continuing inspiration of this year’s Pritzker Prizewinner Frei Otto, who died in March.

In uncube magazine issue no. 33:Frei Otto we’ve talked to those who knew and worked with him, or have been deeply influenced by his work – and we celebrate his ground-breaking research and projects with rarely seen archival images and material. It's a real treat of an issue – perhaps our lightest ever, yet with the richness of a small book. So take your time and enjoy the depth.
