A Study in Black and White: Pour Winery in Kayamandi, South Africa empowering local community

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Mark L. Donohue & Hannah Jane Kim

The buildings that form Pour Winery in Kayamandi near the town of Stellenbosch in the winegrowing region of South Africa deal with the history of race relations in the country rather than avoid it. They claim with equal pride their origins in Cape Dutch Architecture which predominates in the wealthy regions of the Stellenbosch valley, as well as the South African Ndebele people’s bold geometric patterns that cover their homes in the northeastern part of the country. The careful interplay of black and white architectural elements of the winery signify and acknowledge the complex race relationship of the country while the expanded programmatic function of the winery as economic center and social hub empowers the local community.
