Niemeyer Redux

I was walking through the Ferreira park in Avilés thinking about the Niemeyer when it struck me that the idea for his building is in direct homage to the library- an indifferent building in the centre.  Here you can see the sign pointing to the library and the poster on the door that tells you the place is closed- pretty much indefinitely it seems, whilst they refit it with new shelves.

It really doesn't need much comment: look at the photos.  It seems clear to me that the curve is directly taken from the earlier building, even though that building is not of any great quality!
