架构师提供的文本描述。学生中心被认为是休闲的完整设施，并“创造一个鼓励社会互动的空间”。除了学生休息室、电脑实验室、社团办公室、室内游乐区、健身房、羽毛球场、餐厅和咖啡厅以及供学生聚会的各种开放空间外，决定这种结构形式的最显著特征是圆形剧场。

Text description provided by the architects. The Student Centre was conceived as complete facility for recreational respite and “to create a space which encourages social interaction.” In addition to the student lounges, computer lab, societies’ offices, indoor play areas, gym, badminton courts, a dining hall and coffee shop and various open spaces for students to gather, the most notable feature that determined the form of the structure is the amphitheatre.

将圆形剧场放置在学生中心的屋顶上，解决了在校园有限的可用区域内设立圆形剧场的问题。两个锥形三角形质点在一个点上相交，以容纳圆形剧场段的几何形状。

The challenge of locating an amphitheatre within the limited available area of the campus was resolved by placing it on the roof of the Student Centre. Two tapered triangular masses intersect at a point that accommodates the geometry of the amphitheatre section.

其入口的美丽之处在于外立面，其边缘呈锥形，隐藏着楼梯和通往屋顶的美化坡道。坡道上铺满了草，与周围的景观相连；因此，乍一看，这座建筑似乎是从地面上冒出来的。屋顶上也有小块的绿色空间，斜坡和这些区域提供天然的隔热作用。外观本身遵循所有新的IBA校园建筑的建筑语言，也是由同样的建筑师设计的。白面石膏带，银色石材和凹槽玻璃是其突出的完成。

The beauty in its access lies in the exterior façade with the tapered edges that conceal the stairs and a landscaped ramp leading to the roof.  The ramp, covered with the grass, is contiguous with the surrounding landscape; thus, at first glance, it appears as if the building emerges from the ground. There are pockets of green space introduced on the roof as well and collectively, the ramp and these areas provide natural thermal insulation. The façade itself follows the architectural language of all the new IBA campus buildings, also designed by the same architects. Fair-faced plaster bands, silbatta stone and recessed glazing are its standout finishes.

在内部，这些空间不仅仅是通过一个水平平台连接起来的；双高度空间创造了视觉互动，利用框架外部环境，以及在其中融入景观，允许视觉流动性。室内是“年轻”的，是自然材料和精致细节的结合，天花板管道暴露。色彩的雄伟使用是通过建筑师自己设计的乙烯基图形。每个空间都被自然光照亮，可以看到亲密的景观区域，更像是公共环境中的个人空间。

Internally the spaces are more than connected through a horizontal platform; double height spaces create visual interaction and the use of framing the outside environment, as well as incorporating landscape within, allows for visual fluidity. The interior that is meant to be “youthful”, is a combination of natural materials and exquisite detailing, ceiling ducts exposed.  The majestic use of color is through vinyl graphics designed by the architects themselves. Each space is illuminated with natural light and views into intimate landscaped areas, more like personal spaces within a communal setting.
