Centro Cultural Internacional Niemeyer

The Niemeyer Centre it's a work of Oscar Niemeyer, a very important Brazilian architect. It is located in Aviles (Asturias), and for a year it's a culture reference in all the world

It consist of four structures:

• A hemisphere. It's 20 metres height, completely smooth and white. It has two floors, about 4000 square metres, to expositions.

• A cylindrical shape tower with a cylinder on the top. It's 13 metres height. To go up it has spiral stairs. The cylinder is a restaurant and here is the administration. It has many windows, so it offers a beautiful panoramic view of Aviles.

• A big abstract building. It’s an auditory. In a wall there is a drawing that represents a woman.

• A building that is similar to a curve line. It's polyvalent; it has a shop, the Film centre and rooms to conferences.

Niemeyer Centre also has a sinuous projecting that joints the museum and the auditory.

The Niemeyer Centre opened on 26th of Mars 2011. Here we can find many activities to do like watch dramatic works and expositions of photos. It is the unique building of Oscar Niemeyer in Spain. Now it's owned of the Government of Asturias but first months it was owned of the Niemeyer Foundation.

Symmetry around us.

Symmetry is a common phenomenon produced when one side of a picture is exactly the same as the other side but in the other way. Seems like it is a complex phenomenon but it's actually very common in nature, as in art and products.

Axial symmetry:

We can find symmetry in nature in animals as buterflies and in plants as in cactus or dalias.


                                   

But symetry is also found in architecture, where it was thought that it was the base of the beautiness. A good example of this is the Partenon, where we can appreciate this try of making it beautiful with symmetry. But also in modern buildings this phenomenon is appreciated as in the "hemisferic".

SYMMETRY IN LIFE

 Symmetry appears almost everywhere: in nature, in the human body, in arts... or even in design. Some examples of symmetry are:

 - SYMMETRY IN NATURE:

 - SYMMETRY IN ARCHITECTURE:

 - SYMMETRY IN ARTS:

 - SYMMETRY IN DESIGN:

And here it's now my own example of radial symmetry:
