Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in Zimbabwe

Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in Zimbabwe

Not only the natural scenery of the mesa inspiration for the design center, it is also the source of most building materials. That may explain why the structure looks very authentic. Vaulted ceiling, which contrasts with the weight of the dome of the trail winding through the center smooth. Inside, the dome is daylit by strong southern light that filters through cracks in the ceiling. Swimming in cold regions of air that naturally ventilates the building. Appears to grow directly from the ground like a bunch of mushrooms, the Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre is a dynamic cultural center is located at the confluence of the Limpopo River in Zimbabwe and Shashe. Center and surrounding park to celebrate the region’s indigenous peoples and the structure itself mixed into the natural beauty of the mesa. Designed by architect Peter Rich, domed building built with local materials by local workers unemployed, providing them with the skills they brought to work in their own homes!
