Abstract Educational Buildings

The Nuno Montenegro School of Technology is Top of the Class

If only my university had looked like this. The Nuno Montenegro School of Technology is one of the most striking institutional buildings I have seen in a while. Cast in all white, the structure appears as if it contains a series of mazes within as many of the lobbies and corridors are indistinguishable from one another. One standout feature however, is the number of cut-out silhouettes around the school.

Located in Portugal, the Nuno Montenegro School of Technology represents a very modern, open concept style of learning that is not always prevalent over here. They say architecture and lighting have a huge effect on learning and if that is truly the case, I'm sure everyone attending here will earn straight A's.
