Oscar Niemeyer has designed the cultural center in Avilés, built into in the surroundings, which plans to be the driving force for the recovery of an area degraded by industrial activity.
This is his first project in Spain, and it consists of a concrete hemisphere with a height of 20 meters and various floors below ground level, where the exhibition space is located. This large structure is joined, through a cantilever with sinuous shapes, to a glass building that houses an auditorium and a cinema. The complex is completed with a steel and concrete tower, finished with a circular glass construction in which the administrative services, cafeteria and restaurant are located.
