Designed by Matteo Cainer Architects, the 'Mocape' museum design proposal sees an interesting approach to what could soon be found in Shenzhen, China. The 'Mocape' design would be the new Museum of Contemporary Arts and Planning Exhibition that would serve as the heart if the Futian Center District.
Low to the ground and concrete in material, the 'Mocape' museum is focused around a central courtyard that would be a multi-use outdoor space. The exterior of the museum design is dramatic and moody with a slight characteristic of a charging bull in the midst of the form.
Being that the 'Mocape' museum design proposal is merely just that for now, it could be a while before we see the real thing develop.
