Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, Africa

Zeitz MOCAA (Museum Of Contemporary Arts Africa), located in Cape Town, open since september 22, 2017. It's build in an abbandoned old grain silo with a height of 57m. This beautiful Building was re-designed by the architects "Heatherwick Studio". The Museum holds the personal African-Arts collection of the german business man Jochen Zeitz, it's also the biggest collection of contemporary African arts.

Personal: I was fascinated by the precise work, how they worked with the concrete in such detailled way.. didn't knew to that point you could be that precise with cutting concrete. The "main hall" in the inside is a huge cut out of an egg/ball formed negative, which is noticable on the wall parts. The old silos are particially opend and hold functions like the elevator or the stairways. For me an absolute masterpiece of design and craftmanship.
