架构师提供的文本描述。Infinity Centre是Penleigh和Essendon语法学校高年级学生的新校区，最初的想法是，图书馆是学校的核心学习中心。我们还想要一座建筑物，提供保护免受风刮，并标志着两所学校合并，PenleyPresbyterian女子学院和Essendon语法学校的男孩。无限学习的观念成了口头禅。

Text description provided by the architects. The Infinity Centre, the new campus for Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School senior students, is derived from the initial idea that the library, a learning hub, is central to the school. We also wanted a building that offered protection from a windswept site and signified the merging of two schools, Penleigh Presbyterian Ladies' College and Essendon Grammar School for boys. The idea of infinite learning became the mantra.

从图书馆向外辐射，沿着表格的长度，是专业区域和各种学习空间。每个翅膀然后返回连接，形成修道院和由此产生的无限符号的计划。围绕着两个受保护的庭院，加强了学习空间对光线、通风和视野的访问。

Radiating out from the library, along the length of the form, are specialist precincts and a variety of learning spaces. Each wing then returns to link up, forming cloisters and the resulting plan of an infinity symbol. Being structured around two protected courtyards has enhanced the learning space’s access to light, ventilation and view.

每一个翅膀都有它自己的特性，不同的彼此，但却无缝地连接到下一个。这样，建筑作为教育之旅的一个体现，在学科之间没有任何规定的界限的区别。色彩策略强化了学术学科的特性，而自然材料的丰富性，如本地再生木材的丰富，则普遍增强了这一特性。规划允许建筑物的流通在其核心不断返回图书馆，这样在物理上和经验上都与学校的教育精神平行。

Each wing has its own qualities, different from each other and yet seamlessly connected to the next. In this way the building acts as an embodiment of the journey of education, with less distinction of any prescribed boundaries between disciplines. The colour strategy reinforces the identity of the academic disciplines, universally enhanced by the richness of natural materials, such as locally recycled timber. Planning allows the building’s circulation to constantly return to the library at its heart, and in this way is physically and experientially in parallel with the educational ethos of the school.

这种空间和空间的多样性，与有花园和仪式拱门的有围墙的城堡没有什么不同，都是用统一的皮肤包裹起来的。这座建筑的外墙覆盖着琉璃砖，这是一种提供保护、美丽、庄重的材料，并赋予这一令人印象深刻的形式一种永恒感。带状砖块图案有助于解读建筑物的形状，增加了复杂性和快乐，因为太阳在白天捕捉到银色。

This variety of spaces and volumes, not dissimilar to a walled citadel with its gardens and ceremonial arches, are encased within a unifying skin. The outer wall of the building is clad with glazed bricks, a material that offers protection, beauty, gravitas, and imbues the impressive form with a sense of permanence. The banded brickwork pattern aids in reading the shape of the building, adding complexity and delight as the sun catches the silver through the day.
