How Heatherwick Provides ‘Extroverted’ Design in Learning Hub Impact Learning and Change the World

The Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore), designed by Heatherwick Studio is a new educational landmark for Singapore. The most important function of this new university building was to be a space for informal conversations where draws students and members of the community into the school just as it encourages students to interface outward.

The 57 teaching rooms are arranged into 12 separate towers, taper inwards at their base around a generous public central atrium to provide fifty-six tutorial rooms without corners or obvious fronts or backs. Through extensive collaborative spaces, the design blurs boundaries between teachers, students, school and community. The rooms in turn open onto the shared circulation space around the atrium, interspersed with open spaces and informal garden terraces, allowing students come together to make lots of nooks and crannies between them in the connected circulation, where ambiguous and informal conversations can take place.

In the information age the most important commodity on a campus is to sell the school to the public, entice the community inward, encourage students to interact outward, allow the school to become a symbol of learning and community-spirit, within the big scalefocus back on the human scale.

EXP 2 Final Submission

Electroliquid Concept: Create an illusion of large space by using highwalls with slits that natural lights come through.

The idea of this marker is come from Rubik's Cube.

The Rubik's Cube, is made of several small cubes which all in different colour, which let me associate with the multicutral of Blacktown. Build a rotated cube like shown in the above picture would be really interesting, but instead of doing that, I decide to come up with a integrated shape to presents solidarity and fraternity of the multicultural peoples of Blacktown。 

Also，I choose the colour of Australian Aborignial flag to show respect to Blacktown's Aboriginal past. 

Yellow windows on walls and roof connet inside and outside. Daylight pours in during the day, bright every corner in the marker. At night, lights come out from windows, let the maker like a star shinning in sky. 

Instead of choose 3 unrelated textures, I use this whole series of textures in my model.

The textures have been used on stairs, manage to develop a gradual change from dark to light.

Once step into the marker through a narrow and rayless space，the white large bright upper space gives great sensory impact to visitors.

The front part is open, has a good view of the sports stadium not far away.
