VOID / MASS
Highlighting the qualities of the Academic Building South in NTU, Void / Mass features an interplay between positive and negative space, light and shadow, natural and industrial. By arranging Mass Engineered Timber panels in a sequential progression, a visual relationship is hinted between the bus stop and the building's concave facade and step-tier levels.

ASIA'S LARGEST WOODEN BUILDING
The Academic Building South (ABS) is one of Asia's largest wooden building that is located in Nanyang Technological University. A unique feature is the use of Mass Engineered Timber (MET) in the building, a material made from renewable forests, with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than both steel and concrete.
A SCULPTURAL RE-INTERPRETATION
The design brief given was to design a bus stop that complements the ABS building in a harmonious way. As a response to this brief, a sculptural approach was taken by inverting the solid space of the grid facade into void space.
