(c) Patrick ReynoldsThe new 3000m² Performing Arts Centre in Auckland, New Zealand designed by Architectus provides specialised teaching and rehearsal facilities for both music and drama education at St Cuthbert’s College. The facility is laid out as a series of elements around a central atrium space that present themselves at street level as an abstraction of the scale, form and rhythm of the adjacent residential context. The programme includes aside from specialised facilities for instrument teaching and rehearsal spaces for choirs, orchestras and drama performance, general teaching spaces for music and drama.
