# Culture-Transforming Pavilions 'The Pavilion' in Johannesburg Aims to Enhance the Arts in the Area By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pavilion-in-johannesburg References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/david-adjaye-pavilion-johannesburg-designing-south-africa-07-16-2014/) & [adjaye](http://www.adjaye.com/) 'The Pavilion' in Johannesburg will be made by David Adjaye, and aims to bring about a [cultural awareness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tselinny-center) in the area. The design is temporary, and is set to be built in an area where the [public space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-wachtkamer) isn't used as much as it could be. A train station is nearby, making it an area where people are constantly coming and going, but never taking a second to appreciate the area. The hope is that [this pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-capsule-in-time) will give people something to look at and focus their attention on. Not only will it offer a break from everyday life, but also provide an opportunity for interaction between visitors. David Adjaye is a well-known architect, and his proposed design will certainly gain recognition once it's complete.
