Straight in at the deep end, we feature a photoessay from Christoph Sagel and Matylda Kryzykowski on global water issues and talk to climate engineer Matthias Schuler on minimising resource footprints from the Masdar masterplan to a Peter Zumthor retreat.

LAVA′s Chris Bosse keeps us in the swim with the design and afterlife of the Watercube from the Beijing Olympics. Further strategies to stay afloat include drinkable books, edible water bottles, Indian stepwells and an Archigram-inspired boat-testing building.


Join Uncube – the water's lovely!

P.S. It′s Venice Architecture Biennale time again and uncube′ is on location, so watch out for their special blog reports.
