建筑师的话。客户要求设计两个的授课厅，大的可容纳300人小的150人，两个都有多功能厅，展厅，和功能性空间。概念促使两者在建筑形态方面相对有了比喻性的对比，地貌与天空。
From the architect. 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.
地貌屋有两个课室，地貌从火山地质结构中升起（深埋在地表之下）。两个课室中小一点的那个向外滑出。山洞一样的形态给予建筑在形态属性上得以满足室内的高科技视听课室的条件。
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.
天空楼以云的形态压住地表和“高原“，其内包含多功能空间。似漂浮的屋顶使得楼宇功能多变，便于墙体和家具的排列。屋顶锯齿的形状令自然光可以透过云朵射入室内空间。
建筑寻求奥克兰所处的环太平洋圈独特位置和背景的共鸣，还有奥克兰当地文化与建筑所处地块的价值。
地块地貌由于火山运动之后的沉积岩变质岩构成。这也在周围留下了层层致密的地质结构。
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.
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:
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.
奥克兰是全球最大最丰富多样的波利尼西亚人聚居地之一。纹身艺术在他们的文化中非常普遍。这文化秘境可以从透过奥克兰居民发现。
这座学校专注于健康保健方面的教育。 DNA基因密码在人体中可以算得上是人体的积木。
这座楼使用了大量的可持续环保概念，混合式通风，再生地砖，雨水收集，低能耗照明，被动式太阳能设计，展示了许多低能耗材料。
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.
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.
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.
