From visiting a Church or a temple to house visiting, here's a list of wonderful list of stylish architectural as well as Iconic and interesting buildings in Singapore:
NTU The Hive
The Eight-Storey Beehive shape designed building is called "The Hive" and it is an Ecocampus for Student of Nanyang Technological University. It is accessible to the public, however, keep your volume down, it's a school.

NTU ADM
Located at the junction of Nanyang Ave and Nanyang Drive, the new iconic School of Art, Design and Media is situated in a wooded valley right in the heart of the campus. The design was conceived as 3 intertwining blocks that are apparent natural extensions of the ground. These blocks interweave to enclose a picturesque plaza and landscape. Major spaces such as the Auditorium, Media Studios, library and art galleries surround this outdoor activity node.
The highlight of the building is the verdant turfed roof which blends with the ground contour. Apart from its visual impact, the turfed roofscape is a functional space which is easily accessible via sidesteps along the roof edge, thereby allowing the rooftop to be a scenic outdoor communal space. Environmentally, it helps to lower the roof temperature and surrounding areas.
