这个设计命题的内在特征是对研究所雨林背景的庆祝和丰富。立面是分层的和进化的-建筑形式是由周围的景观信息，本项目的设计目标是创造一个建筑物模糊进入景观本身。

Intrinsic to the design proposition is the celebration and enrichment of the Institute’s rainforest backdrop. The facade is layered and evolutionary – the building form is informed by the surrounding landscape, the design goal of this project was to create a building that blurred into the landscape itself
