The AMRF Medical Sciences Learning Centre -
Whakaaro Pai
The Auckland Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) Medical Sciences Learning Centre
- Whakaaro Pai was officially
opened in December 2005 by Prime Minister Helen Clark, and was awarded the prestigious
New Zealand Institute of Architects Award.
Designed by Auckland architect Rick Pearson, the new learning centre is purpose-built
for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in anatomy, radiology, pathology and
clinical skills.
It houses a comprehensive tissue, specimen and anatomical collection
in a formal museum-like setting. Display shelving is organised in a circular arrangement
around a central core that depicts da Vinci's classic symmetrical image of man -
the Vitruvian man. The circular design echoes the classic medical lecture theatre
of The University of Padua in Italy, where anatomy teaching ushered in the modern
era of medical education.
