In Singapore, WOHA’s School of the Arts has partially opened to its students. The project is essentially a full sized school perched atop a performing arts centre in the middle of the city. While the lower theatre and rehearsal spaces in their final stages of completion, the open plazas and rooftop recreation areas of the school are buzzing and active with the influx of this year’s crop of bright young things.

Mesmerisingly hovering at one end of the large void is a five story, rolled steel spiral staircase. A work of art in itself, I’d think this can’t help but inspire those students who twist up through its treads each day.
