Aga Khan Garden | A Gift That Keeps Giving

Inaugurated on September 29, 2022, 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 #AgaKhanGarden, Alberta. The site of the pavilion was designated in the original concept plan for the Garden. In addition to providing multi-use functionality, the pavilion resonates with its rich surroundings and extends the themes of the #Garden, a contemporary interpretation of Islamic landscape architecture in a northern climate and context. The pavilion is 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.
