Rio de Janeiro, Jan 12 (Prensa Latina) Brazilian centenarian architect Oscar Niemeyer presented the project of what will be the headquarters of Brazil's Casa de las Americas version, which will begin to become a reality on Saturday.
It is a futurist structure complex that shapes a memorial with spacious halls, studying rooms, a library, and a hotel for festivals and conventions, Niemeyer explained.
It will be built in Novo Friburgo, a city in Rio de Janeiro's mountain range, and will be located 99 miles from Rio de Janeiro northeastern area, architect Jair Varela said.
Development and project coordination director of Niemeyer's office told Prensa Latina the work will be a great challenge, due to the characteristics of the land and the space available, Aluisio Bevilaqua reported.
The cultural institution will follow the example of the original Casa de las Americas, created in Havana at the beginning of the Cuban Revolution, which is getting close to 50 years of existence.
We have extended this institution to this nation to hold cultural festivals of all the Latin American peoples, to break Washington's blockade against Cuba, he said.
Bevilaqua, fosterer of the idea and also president of the INVERTA Cooperative of Editorial and News Service Workers, asserted that this would be the Latin American people's headquarters in Brazil.
He said it will favor agreements with foundations, as Guayasamin, from Ecuador, and would organize festivals of films, theater, literature, poetry, and other regional artistic expressions.
