Education Resource Centre Building
Category C: Institutional Projects (Educational Buildings)
Architect: W Architects Pte Ltd
Client / Owner: National University of Singapore
The architect set out to design a building for educational research which would give the campus community a central space which is open, interactive, intimately scaled and incorporating some of the original mature fauna found at the site.
The programme is spread over 3 levels of fluid, amorphous rings sculpted around the majestic trees preserve in the site, creating an open-sided central courtyard.
Rooms are ‘randomly’ distributed on the organic-shaped floor plates. The design created well-appointed break-out/reading/activity areas in between, which are day-lit and well ventilated, with views centered back on the courtyard and opening outwards.
Looking back on the ERC down below, the campus community would see a green roof blending itself into the environment. The project demonstrates a successful, sustainable approach in design for a community.
