Eastgate Centre
The Eastgate Centre is a large shopping center located in Harare, Zimbabwe, which was designed by Zimbabwean architect named Mick Pearce. The shopping mall is entirely cool by its natural means because of the vegetation that reduces the direct sunlight heat. The chimney is where the heat is coming out, and the hot air that came out will be used for energy production. This design is called the "Big Glass Block." To work this well, the building must be intricately and perfectly designed because there has to be rules to be followed in order to make this design successful. Eastgate Centre was opened in 1996 on Robert Mugabe Avenue, with office and parking spaces for more than 400 cars only.
