The Eastgate Centre is a pioneering shopping and office complex in Harare, renowned for its revolutionary biomimetic cooling system modeled after termite mounds. Instead of conventional air conditioning, the building uses passive ventilation to maintain a comfortable temperature, making it a landmark of sustainable architecture. Visitors can shop, dine, and observe the clever design features, including large chimneys and exposed brickwork that regulate airflow naturally.
