The Centre for the Interpretation of Technology, BTEK, has been chosen as the best cultural building for 2009 on ArchDaily, the most visited architecture website in the world. At the beginning of last year, this website - created only two years ago to provide information on architecture – launched a competition to choose the best buildings in the world in different categories: culture, religion, education and sport, amongst others. Voting was carried out exclusively through the social networking webpages, Facebook and Twitter; in the cultural building category, BTEK was the building that received most votes.

BTEK is located in the Bizkaia Technological Park in Zamudio and is to be inaugurated in the coming months. It has now received three important recognitions prior to its opening: this, the ArchDaily one; the second is the Mention of Honour at the Biennial of Architecture at Sao Paulo; and the third is the recent Mention of Honour at the AR 2009 Awards, organised by the British journal of architecture, The Architectural Review.
