The large plot behind the Holland Village Market is to be developed with mixed-use building typologies aimed to promote inclusivity and variety through lively activity courtyards and anchor programs. The Learning Lab is primarily a student - focused courtyard consisting of three distinct buildings working as one symbiotic system to promote vibrant learning. Demographically, students and office workers make up a large proportion of visitors who frequent Holland Village due to its proximity of NUS and One
North. Thus, an education cluster is aimed at bridging the gap between school and work life is fitting as an anchor program. Cross mixing programmes are strategies employed to ensure inclusivity. A “key space” in each building located on the public
circulation path where one can witness the overall learning activity that is taking place in the particular block as an invitation for passerbys to participate in the vibrancy of the edu-courtyard.
