津巴布韦德国协会/哈拉雷歌德中心（ZGS/GZH）开始在其位于首都哈拉雷的津巴布韦学习中心的花园里规划一个新的活动空间。长期存在的凉亭是用于表演活动的中心空间，由于结构缺陷，不得不在2018年被拆除。凉亭是津巴布韦传统的屋顶结构，由木质结构的茅草屋顶构成。
The Zimbabwe German Society/Goethe Zentrum Harare (ZGS/GZH) started planning a new event space in the garden of its Zimbabwean learning center in the capital city Harare. The long-existing gazebo, which was the central space used for performance events, had to be dismantled due to structural defects in 2018. The gazebo was a traditional Zimbabwean roof structure made of a wooden structure with a thatched roof.
2019年，ZGS/GZH开始了新的和改进的结构的旅程，以作为其在哈拉雷的ZGS/GZH中心的中央活动空间。在这个过程中，我被任命为首席建筑师，负责设计和监督这个被称为 “展馆 “的空间的建设。
In 2019, ZGS/GZH began the journey towards a new and improved structure to be the central event space at their ZGS/GZH center in Harare. This journey resulted in my appointment as the lead architect to design and supervise the building of the space that has come to be known as The Pavilion.
新馆的设计基于一个由砖石柱子组成的开放结构，这些柱子以不同的角度向外部空间扭曲，从而使各自的方向通向花园的另一部分。这定义了入口区、果园或可以成为活动一部分的花园。砖石柱的深度在内部和外部之间形成了一个中间区域，作为对元素的缓冲。这意味着不需要任何门窗之类的开口。屋顶结构由津巴布韦标准化的木制桁架组成。
The design of the new pavilion is based on an open structure made of masonry columns, which twist at different angles towards the outside space so that the respective direction opens into another part of the garden. This defines the entrance zone, an orchard, or the garden that can be part of the events. The depth of the masonry columns forms an intermediate zone between inside and outside and serves as a buffer to the elements. This means that there is no need for any openings such as doors or windows. The roof structure consists of timber trusses standardized in Zimbabwe.
该设计的特别之处在于，屋顶结构的各个横梁是按照砖石柱的角度来设计的，并且是水平镜像的。其结果是使用传统的建筑方法为音乐会和活动提供了一个新的舞台内部。平坦的屋顶因此可以容纳一个屋顶露台，可以用来招待50人以下的小型团体，使空间具有多功能性和独特性。
The special thing about the design is that the individual beams of the roof structure follow the angles of the masonry columns and are horizontally mirrored. The result is a newly staged interior for concerts and events using conventional construction methods. The flat roof can thus accommodate a roof terrace which can be utilized for entertaining smaller groups of 50 people or less making the space multi-functional and unique.
