架构师提供的文本描述。在国王公园新建一座大楼是一项重要的任务。这是我们在珀斯最珍贵的公园的第四座建筑。作为自然风光区的一部分，国王公园教育设施是一个环境意识中心和由植物园和花园管理局管理的教育方案的家庭基地。虽然这座大楼主要是为学童建造的，但它也用于公众演讲和活动。

Text description provided by the architects. A new building in Kings Park is an important commission. This is our fourth structure in Perth’s most treasured public park. As part of the Naturescape precinct the Kings Park Education facility is an environmental awareness centre and home base for the educational programmes run by the Botanic Parks and Gardens Authority. While the building is primarily for school children it is also used for public presentations and functions.

这种富有表现力和经验的建筑有一个重要的可持续议程，其重点是发电和减少能源消耗，同时参与关于可持续性美学的讨论。通过把建筑和场地折叠在一起，用自然的植物来重新植被土壤屋顶，设计优先考虑人、他们的住所和自然环境之间的直接关系。该平面计划，围绕工地轮廓弧，利用良好的定位和热质量的好处，加上采用双层玻璃，LED照明，再生材料，交叉通风和太阳能热水器，以保持舒适和有吸引力的内部。该设施的耗电量比同等建筑少60%，温室气体(CO2-e)排放量每年减少30.2吨。

The expressive and experiential architecture has a significant sustainable agenda focused on generating solar power and reducing energy consumption while participating in a discourse on the aesthetics of sustainability. By folding together the building and its site and re-vegetating the earth roof with natural flora the design prioritises a direct relationship between people, their accommodation and the natural environment. The faceted plan, arcing around the site contours, utilizes the benefits of good orientation, and thermal mass plus the adoption of double glazing, LED lighting, recycled materials, cross ventilation and solar water heating are combined to maintain a comfortable and attractive interior. The facility consumes 60% less power than an equivalent building and it reduces greenhouse gas (CO2-e) emissions by 30.2 tonnes per year.

帕姆·甘特经过深思熟虑的综合艺术运用了光线，并从建筑及其背景和一些特定的本土植物中汲取了灵感。每一片都是太阳能，是光合作用的参考，主部件监测和校准建筑物在不同使用模式下的耗电量。结果是视觉上吸引人的，互动的，微妙的说教作品。

Pam Gaunt’s thoughtfully integrated art use light and draw inspiration from the architecture and its setting and some specific indigenous plants. Each piece is solar-powered, a reference to photosynthesis, and the main piece monitors and calibrates the building’s power consumption during its different modes of use. The results are visually engaging, interactive, and subtly didactic works.
