Lecture at DAZ Berlin
Lecture with Andrea Benze on utopian ideas in post-war modernistic urbanism organized by failed architecture research group at DAZShort summary: On the third day architects and lecturers Christian Dengler and Andrea Benze looked at the many ways in which the NKZ has been perceived over the past few decades. Initially, the design was met with great enthusiasm by virtually each and everyone in West Berlin, but when in 1974 the first tenants and shop owners moved, the complex was already much derided. As Johannes Uhl had already pointed out, this was mainly due to the decision to not realize all the initially planned communal spaces and amenities. When a younger generation started to re-evaluate Kreuzberg’s nineteenth-century tenement houses in the 1970s, the NKZ came to be seen as a symbol of everything that was wrong with large-scale urban renewal. The building changed from an utopian beacon into a dystopian nightmare. However, over the last two decades tenants have pragmatically adopted the building’s design for their own purposes. Also, new shops and bars have opened up in spaces that had been running into dereliction for almost than two decades. According to Dengler and Benze, this demonstrates how a large utopian vision can turn into several smaller, more individual expressions of utopianism.
