Erasmus Exhibition
The Gathering Grove
Annotation
Public performances often push us beyond our comfort zones, inviting us to share our passions and creations. Project Gathering Grove seeks to do just that - only this time, it’s drawing students outdoors, away from the familiar chill of air-conditioned study rooms. Connected directly to the library, this space offers students a unique chance to unwind and experience performances under open skies.
At NUS, students have access to a wealth of resources and opportunities, though many are often tucked away indoors, hidden from casual passersby. Sometimes, students need a strong nudge to break out of routine, pause, and truly live in the moment. Gathering Grove provides that nudge, offering a vibrant space where ideas, passions, and creative works can be shared and enjoyed by all.
my key experience from erasmus
NUS is a school that offers student resources beyond one’s imagination. That is why it was such a challenge to design a new school facility for a school, that in my opinion, had everything. As hard as it was, I aimed to create a place for students to unwind after a long day of studying and working.
This experience taught me how to adapt to a completely different environment and embrace new challenges. While we were encouraged to think boldly and innovate, I often felt that practical considerations were set aside. That’s something I deeply appreciate about my university, CTU, which strikes a thoughtful balance between creativity and reality.
