포루투칼 베자, 공예학회 관리자 양성소 및 기술학교는 총 11600 연면적, 90 by 80 크기의 장중한 사각형태로 구축된다. 단순함을 넘어선 장중함, 그리고 과감한 외형은 다이나믹한 외부공간을 연출하며 고유한 캐릭터를 구축한다. 이러한 건축적 경험을 제공하는 A블록은 총 5개의 블록으로 구성된 학교건물 중 단연 압권; 80미터 길이로 연속된 무주공간으로 독특한 시퀀스를 자아낸다. 외부로 부터 교내로 진입하는 주출입구이자 학생들의 이론수업을 위한 계단식강의실로 80미터 길이의 양 끝단에는 각각 수직동선과 '호르젠탈 멤버'로 불리우는 교내의 각종 시설들이 연계된다.

The School of Technology and Management of the Polytechnic Institute of
Beja is a building of about 11600- sqm of construction area, set in a
rectangular frame of 90×80 m2. The building was conceptually divided
into five blocks from A to E.
Architects: MONTENEGRO Architects
Location: Beja, Portugal
Architect In Charge: Nuno Montenegro
Project Area: 11,600 sqm
Project Year: 2013
Photographs: FG+SG Fotografia de Arquitectura
Collaborators: Carla Cameira, Susana Ataíde, Rute Ribeiro, Pedro Carvalho e Mariana Medeiros
The block A is the most impressive – a continuous pre-stressed concrete
structure of 80,90m length. Its main characteristic is a unique portal
frame with 50,80m span floating above school’s main entrance.
This portal frame consists of two columns, which are the circulation
shafts, and a horizontal member containing two auditoriums for theory
classes and an exhibition room at the center. That horizontal member of
the portal frame consists of two longitudinal pre-stressed concrete box
type beams overpassing the big span. These two beams, with different
heights because of the configuration of the auditoriums, are the support
of the roof and bottom slab of the auditoriums, at top and bottom
flange level.
The higher beam, located at the bottom end of the auditoriums has 7,82 m
height and lodges the corridor for the room’s access, and the other
beam, at the upper end of the auditoriums, has a medium height of 3,50m.
In an article published in the New Yorker Design Magazine, CC Sullivan wrote: “Montenegro’s
architecture it’s a bit surrealist, perhaps Giorgio de Chirico with a
dash of M.C. Escher (…) concluding “the building never fails to create
opportunities for reflection. The theatricality and grandeur are
unmatched (…)”
