ZENIT

Architect Thomas Heatherwick carved concrete tubes that once held grain into a dazzling lobby at the Zeitz MOCAA, which opened in 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa. The first contemporary art museum in Africa, it showcases works by sculptors, photographers, and painters from across the continent.

Set up by the Tchoban Foundation to reawaken an interest in hand-drawn architectural ideas, the Museum of Architectural Drawing opened in 2013 on the Pfefferberg, the premises of a former brewery in Berlin. The solid lines and angles of the structure have been designed by Sergei Tchoban and Sergei Kuznetsov of Moscow’s SPEECH to remind one of slidable drawers and storage shelves within which such drawings would generally be stored. The crude architectural etchings on the outer concrete walls also tie in with this theme. The five-floored structure has room for a museum shop, exhibition galleries, and a terrace that is used for conferences and a curatorial work space.
