建筑师的话：
村落中心是堪培拉国家植物园主要的到达集合点，为游客提供导向，问询，相关知识传播和讲解，与其一起还有商铺和高档咖啡馆。
From the architect. The Village Centre is the main point of arrival for the National Arboretum Canberra, providing visitor orientation, information, education spaces and interpretation, together with retail and a high-quality cafe.

建筑占据了北端活动台地的尽头，坐落在场地东北边际线，俯瞰中央峡谷和如雕刻般的地形，毗邻人造林。向北他用主要游乐区连接了中央停车场，向南用坪剧院连接花园和人行步道网络。游客从停车场穿过新大楼进入植物园，穿过戏剧性的入口，切入植被小丘，这些都作为大楼初步导向的重点。
The building occupies the northern end of the Event Terrace, sitting below the site’s main east-west ridge, overlooking the sculpted landform of the Central Valley and the adjoining planted forests. It connects the central car park with the major Play Space and the Central Valley northwards and the Event Terrace, grassed Amphitheatre, Gardens and pedestrian pathway network to the south. Visitors enter the Arboretum from the carpark through the new building, passing through the dramatic Entry cutting formed through the forested knoll and serving as the initial orientation focus of the building.

建筑的心脏在他的拱形空间，这个空间灵活地容纳了一系列功能，包括展览，零售，咖啡，以及设置一些有组织的活动。他专注于Burley Griffin湖东南方向和堪培拉城精彩的视角，向南北方向的活动台地扫略打开。建筑帮助建立了透明的花园楼宇配上戏剧性室内空间以及室内室外交感的重要传统。
The heart of the building is its main vaulted space, which flexibly accommodates a range of functions, including exhibitions, functions, retail, the café and programmed activities. It focuses on the dramatic views southeast to Lake Burley Griffin and city of Canberra, and opens to the north and south to the sweep of the Event Terrace. The architecture develops the long-standing tradition of significant garden buildings as transparent enclosures with dramatic internal volumes and sense of indoor-outdoor connection.

建筑室外雕塑般的形态和地块起伏的地势一起，低处石质翅膀与高处风化锌制拱顶对比，造型灵感来自附近智利红酒棕榈林的长叶片。
The exterior of the building is a sculptural form in the rolling topography of the site, contrasting low stone-clad wings with a high arching roof clad in weathered zinc, the form of which is inspired by the fronds of the adjoining forest of Chilean Wine Palms.

建筑内部，创新的木质结构对环境冲击极低，配以戏剧性的森林形态，构成一系列几何弧形。 玻璃片使屋顶向入口塑形，点亮室内的到达点。建筑拥有一些列能源节约措施，使得植物园的外皮和结构都拥有非常低的能耗，使其在环保价值上升到整体范围。
Internally, the innovative timber structure combines low environmental impact with a dramatic forest-like form, designed in a series of geometrical arcs. Slivers of glass define the roof shape towards the entry and light the arrival point inside. The building incorporates a range of energy-saving measures, supporting the environmental value of the Arboretum as a whole, with a very low-energy envelope and structure.
