Architecture is a well-known tool to establish identity-political agendas. Disneyland is a well-known entertainment resort projecting a supposedly perfect world.
Not so well-known is Berlin’s Molkenmarkt: a majorly state-owned unbuilt area nearby Alexanderplatz.
Calls for an affordable, adaptive and open quarter are blatantly obvious, the calls for a „renaissance of Berlin’s center through the rich and beautiful“ (aka privatization) are amplified.
Our work sheds light on the molkenmarkt, a retro-lobby and the underlying ideological structures and instruments of cityplanning and redistribution in Berlin from 1989 on.
