Daniel Maggs (born 1968) is a South African architect and artist living and working in Cape Town.

His latest project, ShackRise, exhibited at the Spier Contemporary 2010, depicts a scenario in which an abandoned high-rise development is taken over by squatters.

Maggs is currently an architect running an architecture practice in Cape Town, and an artist.

As an artist, Maggs' work is primarily about the built environment, although he is able to explore different aspects away from the constraints of regular architectural practice .

He uses the medium of drawing and painting to explore works that cannot be built, structures that reflect aspects of the current political and social climate of Southern Africa.
