Designer Thomas Heatherwick has completed a university building in Singapore made up of 12 towers that resemble giant parsnips.
London-based Heatherwick Studio collaborated with local firm CPG Consultants on the Learning Hub, a new eight-storey teaching facility at Nanyang Technological University.
To avoid creating "miles of corridors linking box-like lecture rooms", the building was designed as a cluster of tapered towers surrounding an expansive atrium. The idea was to combine learning facilities with social spaces including balconies, gardens and open-air corridors, to encourage as many opportunities for staff and student interactions as possible.
The 12 towers, which each taper inwards towards the base, accommodate a total of 56 oval classrooms. According to the designers, the non-hierarchal round shape – without any corners or obvious fronts or backs – will encourage more collaborative learning.
Clad with curved concrete panels, the towers feature irregular horizontal stripes that were created using 10 adjustable silicone moulds. This texture lends each tower the look of a root vegetable, although the designers liken the appearance with wet clay.
Balconies extend around the inside of the towers and get larger towards the top of the building, offering views into the atrium. This space is naturally ventilated, allowing air to circulate throughout.
The towers are raised off the ground on 61 angled concrete columns, each featuring an undulating surface texture, and small areas of planting surround many of them.
Meanwhile, the concrete walls surrounding the stair and elevator cores slotted between the towers have been embossed with over 700 drawings by illustrator Sara Fanelli, depicting images from science, art and literature.
The project forms part of a wider campus redevelopment for Nanyang Technological University which, with over 33,000 students, is one of Singapore's largest public universities.

The stretch of the Kallang River between Bishan Road and Braddell Road hardly looks inviting now, being just a concrete canal.
But by the end of 2018, this 1.8km stretch will be turned into a picturesque area with a cascading stream, rocks and viewing decks.
The river improvement project comes under the PUB's Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme and has been unveiled by Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC MP Wong Kan Seng.
The river's look will be refreshed in four ways, starting with a 100m stretch at Bishan Road, where canal walls will be greened using planters and creepers.
This leads to a 410m-long stream that meanders its way around the planter islands within the channel.
Following this, the stream widens and passes over a series of cascades to meet a permanent body of water.
Cantilevered decks along this 910m stretch of Kallang River will allow allow residents to get closer to the water.
A community deck and seating will be added to bring residents and park connector users nearer to the waterway.
As part of the makeover, PUB and the National Parks Board will also be jointly developing the Kallang Linear Park along the river, between Bishan Stadium and Block 165, Bishan Street 13.
The ABC Waters Programme was started in 2006 to spruce up water bodies here.
