While looking for a parking place for our visit to Yunan Garden on NTU campus, we drove to the Hive, which is next to carpark Q.
The Hive is the building for learning hub south at NTU. The name comes from the building's architecture - a hive like structure. The building is open all the time, we went into the building and climbed all the way to the top floor level 3 despite the fact that the building is 8 floors tall. The first first 5 stories are named B5 to B1, then L1 to L3.

There is no windows to the building, we suspected that it had an atrium in the center and it does. We also guessed that the building was for social science and humanities, and indeed it is for those disciplines. There are offices in some floors, and classrooms from L1 to L3. The inside balconies of the each floor have tables, each with two chairs, a good setting for 1-1 meeting.

The views from top floor of the building are not so good though, mostly cramped buildings on campus. I heard incessant bird chirpings from a open "cell" at the top floor, and spotted this tiny bird with red head, yellow throat, grey belly and dark feathers. It stayed on one branch for a few minutes, preening itself and making calls.
It was a scarlet-backed flowerpecker. A bird I saw for the first time!
