"One of those 10-20 buildings per decade that are truly remarkable" - architecture and design

"One of those 10-20 buildings per decade that are truly remarkable"



In this week's comments update, readers lavished praise on Thomas Heatherwick's recently completed Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, marking a shift in reaction compared to his previous architectural efforts.
Lucky Tube: Zeitz MOCAA, South Africa's largest art museum, was created by hollowing out the inside of a historic grain silo building, and commenters could not hide their appreciation of Heatherwick's design.
"I know Heatherwick is the guy everyone loves to hate. But this is exquisite. One of those 10-20 buildings per decade that are truly remarkable," gushed ML.
"Not usually a fan of his architectural forays, but this is seriously remarkable," agreed Steve Leo.
Alvise Rizzo was already planning a trip to South Africa: "Few other times seeing images of architecture have I had such strong desire to fly to the location, just to plunge in that space, stunning." Although Heywood Floyd was worried that buildings impressive appearance would overshadow its purpose: "My hunch is that this architecture would obliterate any attempt to display art within it, so the galleries are all dumb boxes not worth photographing."
But Kobi made it clear that there was no room for any form of critcism: "Haters, please say something."
This reader proved you can never truly please everyone.
