To be fair best indoor enclosure is Antwerp. It has multiple rooms multiple entrances and exits and finally great climbing structures that are adaptable. Best enclosure overall for me goes to Apenheul with Gaia as a close second.
Its okay to have our own favorites, you should just recognize that certain things aren't always objectively best. And in this case from an animal welfare standpoint Zie-zoo is I'm sorry to say it is horrendous.
You can enjoy art and it can take place in a zoo, however animal welfare should never be impaired in favor of style.
You're entitled to your own opinion, however certain parameters are just fact. Size, climbing space intricacy, enrichment, vegetation, shade, soil, ... certain things are objectively better for the animal. So you can vote for what you want and you can give your opinion, but I ask you to recognize some facts.
Personally I like Antwerps, however I recognize the outside enclosure are terrible. I'm trying to show some nuance.

I also like the theming around Antwerps indoor area. It really does feel like an Aztec temple and is quite tall, a feature I think the monkeys would love.
