Awards:
2018 : Leading Culture Destination of the Year
2018: Museum of the Year
2017 : Fulton Award: Innovation in Concrete
2015: Safety awards
- South Africa’s contemporary art museum, Zeitz MOCAA, has been named ‘Leading Culture Destination of the Year’ at the 2018 Leading Culture Destinations Awards.
Dubbed as ‘The Oscars for Museums’, the awards shine a light on the world’s cultural hotspots, with cities and organisations honoured for effectively engaging in culture and tourism.
- The International Architecture Awards is the oldest, annual public celebration of global architecture organised by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, together with The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press, Ltd. This year’s awards celebrates over 100 new buildings from 31 nations.
- Maintaining the existing structures whilst combining it with innovatively placed new concrete substructures, selective demolition work and recycling make this building a celebration of concrete both as a historical and as a new, innovative building material.
Innovative and complex concrete placement and formwork techniques together with a variety of the latest laser-guided concrete-cutting and removal techniques were used. Newly cut and angled edges were polished to expose the original aggregate and steel reinforcement to great effect. This enabled open spaces in which the old and the new stabilising concrete work remain in contrast yet harmoniously fit together. In continuing the theme of paying homage to the silo’s industrial past, the original concrete both externally and internally was cleaned and has been retained as its most visible finish.
This unique project is a deserved joint winner of the Fulton Award in the “Innovation in Concrete” Category.
