Katzenmusik am Eastgate

Ein junges Mädchen steht am Eingang des Eastgate in Berlin-Marzahn und spielt auf der Geige. Es klingt aber eher wie Katzenmusik, nichts für feine Musikerohren. Trotz allem, Mut hat sie so in der Öffentlichkeit zu spielen. Das verdient Respekt.

A European Summer’s Tale

Contrary to popular rumors, I’m neither dead nor did I join a white nationalist cult; I merely took my own advice and ventured outside to bask in the IRL interracialist scenery of contemporary Europe in summer. Why watch Blacked when amazing amateur content is happening right downtown?

This post will be kind of a random recollection of my impressions from the last two months. To put this into context, you have to know that the town I live in was pretty much 99% white European just a decade ago. Aside from a smattering of Indian exchange students and token Asian restaurant owners, there wasn’t much going on in terms of diversity. This changed dramatically with the refugee crisis of 2015 and has been steadily ratcheting up ever since. What I saw was a result of only a few years of notable immigration; keep this in mind to understand the allure of what’s going on.

One thing that amused me over and over again (and I hope this doesn’t feed into too many cheesy stereotypes, but it’s just the reality in the streets) is how the kinds of hot Euro summers that we’re bound to experience more regularly due to global warming really do cement the new pecking order: so many times I saw a sweaty and heat-oppressed white guy and a completely chillaxed African man at a pedestrian light or near a sidewalk. The contrast was so striking. And if I’m seeing it, you can bet that women are taking notice as well. There’s a new kind of alpha male in town and he’s definitely not white, lol.

Speaking of women, while I obviously saw a number of interracial couples, something else caught my attention: larger groups of young African and Arab men and white women roaming around. For the first few years post-2015, I mostly saw these immigrant men walking around among themselves; I guess the lack of language and cultural communication skills made it hard for them to make white friends.

This has now changed and I suppose white girls have figured out that if you want to have a fun summer, you best stick with the Black boys. You can all imagine in your dirty little minds where that will inevitably lead. I’m not sure what young white men are doing in summer nowadays; maybe they’re unlocking legendary skins in Fortnite or something. It’s so nice when everyone is having fun, isn’t it?

And I do definitely want to mention all the Black and Muslim women with baby strollers. Sheesh, man. It’s not exactly scientific to extrapolate demographic data from what you see in the streets, but I’m guessing at least a quarter to a third of the upcoming generation is going to be non-white just by virtue of differential birth rates. If you’re still arguing over whether Europe should be white or not, you’ve kinda missed the train going out of the station. This matter is settled.

It’s funny; you probably have to be either a white nationalist or a conscious interracialist to appreciate the magnitude of what’s going on. And that’s another point I want to make: the wider debate over this issue has all but disappeared. Right-wingers are still harping on about it, but everyone else is enamored with Greta and climate change. The average person has seemingly accepted that Europe will be a big melting pot and continue to mix it up from here on out, and has thus moved on to discuss other matters. I didn’t think the transition would be that smooth, but hey, I’ll take the freebie.

And now for some bonus gonzo journalism. A few months ago I made a post about a mall in Berlin that apparently attracts a curious mix of young immigrant men and German girls who are there for the teenage mischief and hedonism. As fate would have it, I was in Berlin in early August; and while my travel group wanted to go stare at boring tourist traps, I knew I had to go check out this place. So I did.

When I arrived at Eastgate Mall, I didn’t find any interracial debauchery, but I did see lots and lots of police. Being a curious and inoffensive white male, I approached one of them to inquire about the situation: I had read in the paper that this was a hotspot of crime and degeneracy, but it looked awfully quiet now? He told me that the young’ins stayed away while they were on guard duty and were probably hanging out in the parks around the neighborhood. Thank you, officer, and say no more: I was on my way to investigate.

It didn’t take me long to hit pay dirt. Now if you’re pushing 30 like me, maybe you remember how it was in high school: precocious girls smoking and cavorting outside the school yard with edgy whitebois in baggy pants. The precocious girl crowd was still there alright, but they replaced the imposters with the real deal. Lots of cigarettes and booze (I think I smelled pot as well), some kind of Arab rap booming in the background, one couple making out, everyone else caught up in hormonal tension. I kept my distance because this was not my place to interfere and, to be honest, I didn’t feel like getting beat up by a territorial 16-year-old out to impress the girls, but the fairy tale was real; and even though I wasn’t exactly part of it, I still came away from the experience with a smile.

It’s 2019 and teenage Euro girls think Black and Muslim boys are status symbols to chase after, confirmed by reality. That’s the thought I want to leave you with. Summer isn’t quite over yet, you know; you could head out and confirm this social dynamic for yourself. It’s worth your time, believe me.

Architecture highlights from southern Africa include projects from Zambia and Mozambique

To conclude our collaboration with Dom Publishers, the editors of the Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide have picked architecture highlights from southern Africa.

Edited by Philipp Meuser and Adil Dalbai, the Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide features over 850 buildings from the 49 sub-Saharan countries in Africa.

"For the very first time the architecture of every sub-Saharan country is presented individually in an individual chapter, some of which cover the respective country's contemporary architecture for the first time ever," explained Dalbai in an interview with Dezeen.

Dom Publishers' Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide

The publication is divided into seven volumes with the final book focused on southern Africa. It features buildings in Namibia, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho and South Africa.

Read on for Meuser and Dalbai's picks from each country:

Namibia Independence Memorial Museum, 
Windhoek, by Mansudae Overseas Projects

The Independence Memorial Museum is part of an agreement between Namibia and North Korea to realise three huge nation-building projects. It presents a contentious string of recent developments in Namibia.

When North Korea's economic situation dramatically worsened in the mid 1990s, the construction company Mansudae Overseas Projects began to send artists, architects, and workers to Africa.

Since then, the group has earned vast sums in foreign currency by constructing large statues and buildings in 15 African countries. These structures display an amalgamation of all the elements that make up the socialist realist style.

Besides the museum, there are two other major projects: the New State House and the Heroes' monument in Acre. The trio of monumental sites clearly relate to each other, with their Eastern symbolism and gold-painted reliefs, but are completely isolated from the local Namibian architecture due to their imposing scales, elevations, and finishes.

Zambia Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Lusaka, by Hope, Reeler & Morris

The Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross was built at the dawn of Zambia's independence. This begs the question of why the British erected such a prominent edifice at a stage when they were leaving the colony.

Possible answers, as suggested by Swiss-based architect Manuel Herz, are that it was a "gift" to the new nation, an attempt to win over the population, or a way to leave their mark on the country. Whichever it was, the building today plays a key role in Lusaka.

Beyond religious events, it holds nationwide significance as it hosts key national events regard­less of denomination and acts as a venue for political reconciliations. Unlike typical British cathedrals, this house of worship, designed by Ian Reeler of Hope, Reeler & Morris, lacks a spire.

The long nave combined with the high ceiling creates an internal atmosphere that is imposing yet calming. The building has narrow stained-glass windows with a random pattern of coloured panes on the northern and southern facades, bringing in tinted natural light.

Zimbabwe Eastgate Centre, Harare, by Pearce Partnership

In the western world, shopping centres rarely have the quality to go down in architectural history as icons. This example in Harare is different.

Architect Mick Pearce, a veteran of the African architectural landscape, designed a temple of commerce that could serve as a best practice for energy saving for many architects in Europe, Asia or America.

The Eastgate Centre has won many awards for its passive ventilation features, as it maximises the use of the falling evening temperatures to cool down the building during the course of the night through a series of concrete ducts and hollow floors in the nine-storey building.

The forty-eight brick chimneys along the top help pull the exhaust air out of the two blocks. During the day, the accumulated cool air is gradually sucked out of the bowels of the building, maintaining a cool interior atmosphere.

Botswana Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, Northwest District, by Michaelis Boyd Associates

Alex Michaelis and Tim Boyd are known for designing luxury properties. So when the architects plan a safari lodge in the border area between Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, you have to expect a kind of UFO that has landed in the savannah.

The fact that this house does not look like a foreign body in the landscape is due to its organic shape.

Like elephants' tusks, the wooden beams span the interior and form a striking roof. Situated in the middle of a nature reserve, the architecture fits in so sensitively that even the otherwise shy elephants have taken it for granted and pass by the resort on their forays – to the delight of the operator and guests.

Mozambique Smiling Lion Building, Maputo, by Pancho Guedes

The Berlin architecture critic Dagmar Hoetzel once dubbed Pancho Guedes "Vitruvius Mozambicanus" – a tribute to a Portuguese architect who influenced the history of building in east Africa like no other.

Besides the colourful facades, his buildings are characterised by playful ornamentation and creative names. This is also true of the Smiling Lion apartment building in Mozambique's capital Maputo.

As he was the developer of the edifice, Guedes took full advantage of the creative freedom to express his personal style, the stiloguedes. For the building, he had an eclectic range of influences: among others, surrealism, expressionism, the desire to create an African modernity, and perhaps even a drawing given to him by his six-year-old son.

Malawi Kalula, Chimbalu and 
Kapondero Schools by John McAslan + Partners

London-based architect John McAslan realised a modern design in Malawi using traditional construction methods and local building materials.

This seems to be exactly the right approach, especially in rural areas. Here, the task was to develop a prototype for a school. The roof appears particularly dominant, standing like an umbrella over the naturally ventilated structure. No wonder, since it rains almost every day for nine months.

Eswatini Siyanaka Women and Children Hospital, Manzini District, by Brad Walker Architects

This project was initiated by two doctors in Eswatini who were concerned that there were no hospitals specifically for women and children in the country.

It is a good example of how a local initiative with local building materials can create simple yet ambitious architecture. If this can also contribute to improving the social infrastructure – all the better.

The building is situated on a steep site in Manzini, the most populated city in Eswatini. When entering the site, visitors are greeted by a baobab tree situated on the northwestern side of the site.

Borrowing from local architectural forms, Brad Walker Architects presented a down-to-earth street view while implementing clerestory windows along the passages to create spatial drama as sunlight pours in from above. Because there were insufficient funds to install an elevator, a ramp was designed to connect the lower level to the upper one.

Lesotho Palace of Justice Complex, Maseru, by Archiplan Studio

The brick Palace of Justice Complex looks like a castle on the outskirts of the capital Maseru. It was officially opened in 2003 by Lesotho's then prime minister Pakalitha Mosisili and comprises the High Court and the Court of Appeal buildings, two edi­fices lo­cated a stone's throw away from the Maseru Magistrates Court.

The design for the Palace of Justice Complex is rather imposing, particularly because of the low-rise, residential context in which it stands. For the buildings composing the complex, the architects borrowed somewhat from traditional archi­tecture by using more circular forms and shying away from rectilinear shapes – in particular for the main entrance.

South Africa Thusong Service Centre, 
Western Cape, by Makeka Design Lab

The Thusong Service Centre is a multipurpose sports and community centre that was perceived as a collection of buildings and spaces, rather than as a single entity.

Designed by Mokena Makeka – one of the shooting stars of the young African architectural scene, the Thusong Service Centre is a powerful urban statement, emphasised by creating a strong indoor/outdoor relationship.

The architectural solution found is one of sim­plicity and unadorned tectonics, yet it offers flexibility and integration into a broader urban arrangement, by way of dramatic light shutters, on the west facade, that connect the interior of the building to a proposed public realm.

Like most of these "starchitects" of the continent, Makeka has also undergone international training, but is committed to a better world in his home country.

The post Architecture highlights from southern Africa include projects from Zambia and Mozambique appeared first on Dezeen.
