After decades of operating cruises out of a rudimentary shed, the Port of Durban + ocean cruise capital of Sub-Saharan Africa now enjoys an energising + catalysing landmark terminal. Dwarfed by docked cruise-liners, the powerful form asserts itself as a memorable building interfacing harbour + city. The terminal was conceived as the new portal to the Kingdom of the Zulus, welcoming tourists to the province + traditional culture. Conceived with an overt African identity, the building draws inspiration from the earthy colours, vibrant textures + triangular-motifs displayed in Zulu craft.
