Ολοκληρώθηκε πρόσφατα στην πόλη Avilés της Ισπανίας το φουρτουριστικό Κέντρο Niemeyer, δημιούργημα του αρχιτέκτονα Oscar Niemeyer, ηλικίας 103 ετών!  Το πολυχρηστικό κέντρο αποτελείται από διάφορα εκθεσιακά περίπτερα τα οποία φιλοξενούν ένα μουσείο, μία αίθουσα 1000 θέσεων, ένα σινεμά, και διάφορους συνεδριακούς χώρους. Σημείο αναφοράς αποτελεί το παρατηρητήριο, μία κατασκευή σε σχήμα τιρμπουσόν με ορατή ελικοειδή σκάλα. Ο τριώροφος θόλος συμπεριλαμβάνει εκθεσιακούς χώρους για έργα πολλαπλής καλλιτεχνικής προέλευσης. Ο Niemeyer, επίσης υπεύθυνος για το σχεδιασμό του Carnegie Hall στη Νέα Υόρκη και του Ravello Auditorium στην Ιταλία, θεωρεί το νέο Κέντρο στην Avilés τη πιο σημαντική του δουλειά στην Ευρώπη. 
 
 
 
Modern architecture has long been compared to science fiction: not just in its formal and material ambitions, but socio-spatially, where the ideals of total democracy and gridded master planning converge. Exuberant, utopian futurism arrived at through human innovation. Yet now we usually experience modernism through the tint of wear and nostalgia; the optimism of atomic-era design seems misplaced in the globalized climate.
 
Nevertheless, the future pushes on. Currently set for landing in the base of the medieval town of Avilés, located in Spain`s northern Asturias region, Centro Niemeyer is a surreal, space-age barge; a fantastic monument to the shifting cultural economies of the twenty-first century. Surreal, perhaps simply for its freshness, but also for its hugeness and finesse; its stark contrast to the labyrinthine, stony streets of surrounding town. Space-aged, in the sense of the antique future we see in visionary pop culture from The Jetsons to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The new Centro embodies both the classic neutrality of the twentieth-century International Style and contemporary strains of cosmopolitanism and sustainability.
