🐝About The Hive
▫️Completed in 2015, the building is designed to provide a space for self-study and communication for teachers and students
▫️The design is inspired by the steamers in Chinese teahouses, which are stacked together to form 12 cylindrical elements
▫️There is no main entrance or door, and you can enter the atrium from all directions
▫️The transparent atrium design not only connects the space, but also copes with Singapore's high temperature and high humidity climate all year round
▫️The 56 circular classrooms in the building have no obvious front and back, and embrace every corner openly, breaking the traditional stereotyped and serious form

🏛️About the designer
▫️Designed by the famous British architect Thomas Heatherwick
▫️The well-known landmark buildings such as Fosun Art Center in Shanghai, Tiananmen Thousand Trees, and the British Pavilion at the World Expo are all works by Thomas

📷Tips for checking in
▫️Attention! The floors here are a bit special, the ground floor is B5, and the top floor is 3F
▫️Let the model stand on B5, and the photographer stands upstairs and shoots down. Pay attention to the fence seat foreground, so that the visual impact is strong💯
▫️Stand in the center of the atrium, from bottom to top, you can shoot the staggered floors + sky
▫️Wide-angle lens captures the symmetrical beauty of the building, and medium-long focal length captures the partial beauty of the building
▫️Standing on the high-rise to shoot from above, standing on the middle floor to shoot horizontally, both have different visual compositions
▫️Friends with conditions can use drones to take aerial photos
▫️Attention! This is originally an activity area for teachers and students. Please be quiet when visiting and do not disturb others!
