The Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore is Heatherwick Studio's first major new building in Asia. The innovative eight-storey learning facility is an intelligent reimagining of the university building and is a textured structure taking its inspiration from a root vegetable.
The Learning Hub is made from a cluster of smaller cylindrical towers and features an expansive atrium that encourages social interaction between faculty and students. The atrium boasts a bevvy of balconies that unify the sprawling space and give it a communal feel. The twelve circular towers make for 56 oval classrooms and aim to inspire more collaborative work between students.
