UHF

UHF-Association for Contemporary Research. UHF is an editorial project developed by the collective of the same name, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, interested in questioning and unfolding the limits of architecture. It is configured as a channel for content editing: Ultra High Frequency (UHF) support, open to interference from different disciplines.

Each UHF publication is structured around a theme, which guides both the content section and the design of the continent. On the one hand, the different published materials outline a patchwork of documents that allows the subject matter to be addressed in a multifaceted way. On the other hand, each number becomes a small “object of desire”: the different formats (which vary from a vacuum-packed package of ham to a giant bar of soap, through a game of tiles, a golden labyrinth or a collection of videos) invite the reader to immerse themselves in the publication, turning the reading experience into a first approach to the problem.

The pages of UHF gave space to some of the first works of relevant figures in architecture, such as Tomás Sarraceno, Cristina Díaz Moreno and Efrén García Grinda (Cero 9-Amid), Andrés Jaque (Office of Political Innovation), Nerea Calvillo (C+ ), Marcelo Faiden and Sebastián Adamo (Adamo-Faiden), Renata Sentkiewicz (Abalos + Sentkiewicz), Eduardo Cadaval and Clara Solá Morales (Ca-So), Miguel de Guzmán (Subliminal Image), Izaskun Chinchilla, Felipe Mesa (Plan B) , Luis Úrculo, Jacobo García Germán (García Germán Arquitectos), Gonzalo del Val, Urtzi Grau and Cristina Goberna (Fake Industries Architectural Agonism), Carlos Arroyo, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (Atelier Bow Wow), among others…
