架构师提供的文本描述。该简报要求设立两个讲堂，一个大(300)，另一个(150)，还有一个更大的多功能厅/展览/功能空间。这导致了2的概念，分别对比形而上学的条件产生建筑形式：地形和天空。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief called for two lecture theatres, one larger (300) than the other (150), together with a larger multifunctional foyer/exhibition/function space. This lead to the conception of 2 respectively contrasting metaphysical conditions to generate architectural form: Landform and Sky.

“地形”是两个讲堂的所在地。这些地貌形式产生于该地区的火山地质(埋在地表之下)。两家剧院中较小的一家从另一家放映。这种类似洞穴的形式提供了必要的建筑属性，以控制高科技视听讲堂所需的内部条件。

The ‘landform’ houses the two lecture theatres. These geomorphic forms rise out of the volcanic geology of the region (lying buried below the ground surface). The smaller of the two theatres slides out of the other. This cave-like form offers the necessary architectural attributes to control the interior conditions required for high-tech audio-visual lecture theatres.

“天空”以云层的方式包围了多功能空间，云层附着在地形上，覆盖着下面的高原。这种浮动的屋顶系列允许在下面通过可操作的墙壁和家具的布置实现功能的灵活性。锯齿形屋顶的分层也允许自然光像太阳一样通过云层进入空间。

The ‘sky’ encloses the multifunctional space by way of clouds clinging to the landform and covering the plateau below. This floating series of roofs allows a flexibility of function to occur below by way of operable walls and furniture arrangement. The layering of roofs in a saw-tooth formation also allows natural light to enter the space like sun through the clouds.

该建筑力求对其在环太平洋地区的独特环境和位置作出反应，承认该地点的地方方面和奥克兰文化：

The building seeks to respond to its unique context and location in the Pacific Rim by acknowledging the local aspects of the site and the culture of Auckland:

该遗址的地貌由独特的事件演变而来，包括火山和随后的沉积和变质。这在周围地形的分层中留下了一种地质加密。

The geomorphology of the site has evolved from unique events both volcanic and subsequently sedimentary and metamorphic. This has left a Geological Encryption seen in the stratification of the surrounding landform.

奥克兰拥有世界上最大和最多样化的波利尼西亚人职业之一。纹身在所有这些文化中都很常见。这种文化加密可以在奥克兰人民的横截面上看到。

Auckland has one of the largest and most diverse occupations of Polynesian people in the world. Tattooing is common to all these cultures. This Cultural Encryption can be seen in a cross section of Aucklands’ people.

这所学校的保健重点是其教育方案。DNA是基因加密，是人体解剖的“基石”。

This Campus has a Health Care focus on its education programme. DNA is the Genetic Encryption that is the ‘building block’ of the human anatomy.

该建筑采用了若干生态可持续的原则：混合模式通风、再生地毯、雨水收集、低能照明装置、被动太阳能设计、低耗能材料。

The building utilises a number of ecologically sustainable principles: mixed mode ventilation, recycled carpet tiles, rainwater harvesting, low energy light fittings, passive solar design, low embodied energy materials.
