该项目是Alberta大学植物花园的展厅与活动空间，同时也属于4.8公顷Aga Khan花园，展厅的位置在2018年花园原有概念的规划中就已经明确，除了多种功能之外，展厅还呼应了丰富的周边环境，拓展了花园的主题，很好地诠释了在北方气候与文脉下伊斯兰景观建筑，展厅补充了花园设计、遗产，以及体验的各项精神，“Diwan”一词有着不同的历史定义，在这里则用于表达一个用于聚会、文化交流，以及庆祝的空间。

ext description provided by the architects. The Diwan is a year-round pavilion and event space for the University of Alberta Botanic Gardens and the final piece to complete the 4.8-hectare Aga Khan Garden, Alberta. The site of the pavilion was designated in the original concept plan for the Garden, inaugurated in 2018.  In addition to providing multi-use functionality, the pavilion was to resonate with its rich surroundings and extend the themes of the Garden, a contemporary interpretation of Islamic landscape architecture in a northern climate and context.  The pavilion was designed to complement the spirit of the Garden’s design, heritage, and experience. The term diwan has varied historical definitions, and here implies a space for meeting, cultural exchange, and celebration.









设计团队的研究开始于Mughal花园中常常用到的Chahar Bagh花园类型主题，这是Aga Khan花园的核心部分，历史花园的功能、规模，以及细节、院落都成为了灵感的来源，除此之外还包含了伊斯兰建筑艺术， Diwan展厅中的几何图案、表面、屏幕更好地丰富了游客们的建筑与花园体验，现代建筑的设计、体量，以及材料的选择都完美地诠释了传统原则。

The design team’s research began with the underlying themes of the Chahar Bagh garden typology commonly used in Mughal gardens, a key source of inspiration for the Aga Khan Garden.  The function, scale, and detailing of the historical garden, as well as the pavilions within them, were a source of inspiration, as were broader traditions of Islamic building arts.  Geometric patterns, surfaces, and screens are embedded throughout the Diwan, and further, enrich the visitor experience of the building and garden.  The design, massing, and material selection are that of a contemporary building that interprets traditional principles.







Diwan展厅是Alberta大学植物花园的唯一全年设施，其中包含有一个大型活动空间、服务空间、衣帽间、洗手间，以及通向屋顶露台的通道，在这里人们可以欣赏到花园的美景，建筑师在构思一个表演、会议、工作、展览，甚至是婚礼的活动空间时，设计方案削弱了Aga Khan花园的部分对称特征，同时增加了一些其他手法，来平衡正式的花园背景和展厅的内部功能，从而让人们更加关注公共区域。

The Diwan is designated to be the University of Alberta Botanic Garden’s only year-round facility. It includes a large event space, servery, coat check, washrooms, and universal access to the rooftop terrace, providing panoramic views back to the garden. In creating a facility for performances, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, or weddings, the architectural design ‘offsets’ some of the symmetries of the Aga Khan Garden while adhering to others, to balance the formal garden context with the pavilion’s internal function and focus on a well-serviced ‘public room’.



Diwan展厅的存在感时而强烈时而低调，其水平形态盘旋于花园的南侧边缘，大型悬挑提供了遮风挡雨的功能，这也构成了建筑的主要入口，让人们的视线能够流畅地穿过森林，进入主要大厅，建筑与花园南北轴线对称，同时也是其终点，让花园构成森林的边界，建筑的形式经过仔细考量，从而与周边的花园元素无缝衔接。

The Diwan has a strong yet understated presence within the Garden.  Its horizontal form hovers along the southern edges of the Garden.  A sizeable overhang provides shade and shelter marking its entry and offering an uninterrupted view into the main hall and through to the woodland forest beyond.  It lies symmetrical to the Garden’s north-south axis, acting as its terminus and marking the garden’s edge with the forest. The architectural form was carefully considered to integrate with the scale of the surrounding garden elements in a seamless manner.







Diwan展厅将成为聚会与交流的场所，这里是艺术与庆祝的家园，同时也是丰富遗产、传统，以及文化多元化的象征，在这里有着一定程度的文化敏感性和历史遗产，同时保留了对于花园空间、功能需求，以及Alberta北部背景的呼应，在夜晚，Diwan展厅成为一座灯塔，其内部会散发出温暖且充满欢迎气息的光线。

The Diwan will be a beacon of gathering and intellectual interaction.  It will be a home of the arts and of celebration, as well as a symbol of rich heritage, tradition, and cultural pluralism.  It is imbued with cultural sensitivity and historic legacy while remaining responsive to its garden settings, programmatic requirements, and the context of northern Alberta.  In the evening, the Diwan will serve as a beacon, illuminated by a warm and welcoming lantern-like light from within.
