The Hive, also known as Learning Hub South, is a building located in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The S$45 million building was designed by Thomas Heatherwick and completed in 2015.[1] Colloquially, the building is known as the "dim sum basket building" due to its likeness to the steamer baskets used to contain dim sum.[2]
The Hive was a finalist for the 2015 World Architecture Festival Commercial Mixed-Use Award in the Future Projects subcategory.[3]
