#{title} — Zeitz MOCAA Cape Town – Thomas Heatherwick
2017
“We could have so easily knocked it down and built a big shiny spaceship of a museum instead…But the danger would have been that people would just come to take a selfie and not go inside. In a place that doesn’t have a strong museum-going culture, our challenge was to make compelling innards, to lure people in to see the art.” – Thomas Heatherwick

Oliver Wainwright, The Guardian: Mocaa, Cape Town: grain silo reborn as Africa’s answer to Tate Modern
