Mapungubwe. Peter Rich

lit by an oculus that tracks the path of the sun

the experience of the internal exhibition space is cavernous, articulated by the exposed tiles
made from the local soil light is filtered through fused coloured glass, with dappled patterns
reflected from the ponds that cool the air that naturally ventilates the buildings. the termination of this central space is a second cairn, representing the sunset and housing the golden rhinoceros that has become a southern african icon
