One of the main features of this building is the massive portico that appears to float over the school gardens. In fact the School of Technology and Management of Beja has one of the largest inhabited porticos of the world. A sort of surreal and impossible architecture.
Clashing ideals come together visibly in the building that Montenegros designed. The School of Technology owes its powerful exterior presence to clean lines and rigorous simplicity. The thick white walls and small windows furthermore reflect the climate in the southern part of the country and recalls the rural vernacular. Inside, meanwhile, the obsessive whiteness continues, while idiosyncratic flourishes keep students on their toes.
