Niemeyer Cultural Centre in Aviles

The Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre located in AvilĂ©s (Austurias, Spain), is now opened to the public. Known as “El Niemeyer”, it was designed by the world-famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. His relationship began with the Principality of Asturias after he won the “Prince of Asturias Award for Art” in 1989. Besides being a cultural centre of international significance, it has an important environmental element as well. It is part of an urban regeneration process that will change the whole waterfront of the industrial area of AvilĂ©s. It is hoped that it will serve as an engine for economic growth and urban regeneration just as the Guggenheim did for Bilbao. This is something everyone should put on their to-see list. Â
