Santiago Calatrava designed the The Exhibition and Congress Center City of Oviedo. The soaring white shapes and repetitive organic structure is characteristic of Calatrava, a structural engineer with an emphasis on aesthetic creation. A perimeter low-rise building rises above the pedestrian level to frame a couryard space, with the north end completely open to a front plaza. Each end of the frame juts as a wedge into the street in a truly magnificent front view. The central 2,300 m2 exhibition hall rises in a contrasting angle to catch the southern sun.
The white dome for this vast space rises 45m and accesses 12 meeting rooms. An additional meeting hall can seat 217. A multipurpose room has 410m2 of space. The raised frame building houses administration and governmental offices. A hotel provides convenient space for visiting users of the Palacio.
Economic struggles pushed back construction on this project in 2010, and a collapse in 2006 injured construction workers. Faults in arc welding designs led to Calatrava having to pay out 3.5 million for the event. As far as I could tell it is still unfinished.
