Nanyang Technological University is a project designed by Heatherwick Studio and executed by CPG Consultants as a new educational concept in Singapore. The building is intended to be a history of the universities of the future, avoiding cold long corridors and introducing a distribution in which various disciplines can meet and interact with each other.

The university is comprised of 12 towers that incorporate 56 classes and create a public square on the interior. The informal composition of buildings, with its green terraces will clearly help to increase students' creativity. Students can create collaboratively with prospective partners and teachers.

The challenge for the Heatherwick Studio was to make the structure more attractive, rather than cold. Natural ventilation, thanks to its open layout, provides the building with fresh air. A university in which to meet, share knowledge and collaborate with other disciplines, turning his students into leaders of tomorrow.
