The Singapore University of Technology and Design by UNStudio and DPArchitects

The collaboration result between UNStudio and DPArchitects is The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). They’ve been chosen from a shortlist of five practices to design SUTD. Their architecture design proposalreflects the university curriculum : “Using the creative enterprise of the school to facilitate a cross-disciplinary interface; interaction is established between the professional world, the campus, and the community at large.”. The proposaldescribes a non-linear connective relationship between the students, faculty, as well as they spaces they interact with.

The Singapore University of Technology and Design will offer four key academic pillars: Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD), Engineering Product Development (EPD), Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) and Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD). The New SUTD campus will facilitate cross-disciplinary interaction between all four pillars of academia. The orientation and organisation of the campus is designed through two main axes; the living and learning spines which overlap to create a central point, binding together all corners of the SUTD. These thoroughfares create a 24/7 campus of seamless connectivity. An open forum of learning is established by bringing professionals, alumni, students, and faculty together to interact both on an academic and a social level.
