Your digital,playful, colorful, and the most interactive magazine Uncube presents its latest issue dedicating to a special painter, who also happens to be an architect as well as a stubbornly independent thinker. Uncube issue no. 41: Zvi Hecker spans a six-decade career to date, from the geometrically modular spatial patterns he worked on with Alfred Neumann and Eldar Sharon in 1960s Israel to the spiralling, zig-zagging, nature-inspired structures of his later buildings, in Berlin and beyond. Let uncube take you to Zvi Hecker’s world: a place of sunflowers, crowbars and polyhedral perfectionism.
