Open Cutout Architecture

The Environmental Learning Center by Connor Nicholas

The design you see above is for the Environmental Learning Center, and it's by Connor Nicholas. This open-air architecture boasts a cutout construction that turns ambient light into impromptu floor art. Wooden floors and light green walls create a natural aesthetic that would be at home in nearly any landscape.

I'm most fond of the angular shape of the Environmental Learning Center. Connor Nicholas has created eye-popping geometric architecture that makes the most of natural light, and I'm all for it.

Open-air Architecture
There is an opportunity to create designs for buildings with cutout constructions that maximize natural light to enhance the overall aesthetic and energy efficiency.
Sustainable Construction
There is an opportunity to explore sustainable building materials and design to create structures that complement and blend in with natural landscapes.
Geometric Architecture
There is an opportunity to push the boundaries of traditional building designs using angular shapes and unique angular cutouts while maximising natural light to create unique spaces.
