Pause Pavilion

A small 16-square-metre brick-and-steel pavilion designed by Ashari Architect for the third Ghavam Aldin Shirazi Design Workshop-Competition. Sited at the entrance of the historic Afif Abad Garden in Shiraz, the pavilion is a 4×4×4 metal cube housing a suspended cone of cut brick, intended as a small "pause" between the city and the Persian garden.
