A Chilean Landmark

 Hello, today I am going to talk to you about a building that I really like in Chile, the CEPAL building, this is the United Nations Building in Chile, it was built in 1966 by the Chilean architect Emilio Duhart, who also built the airport of Santiago and the university city of Concepción. All his works are modern in style, with influences from Le Corbusier. The building is located in Santiago de Chile in the commune of Vitacura. I visited with some friends on the occasion of Heritage Day, when public buildings are opened to be visited.

One of the things that I really like about the building is its modern style, since they are volumes with very simple geometries of reinforced concrete, it is also surrounded by nature and a reflecting pool. Its horizontality stands out. Inside, I really like the meeting room, which is made of wood and the windows of different sizes.



I would really like to visit the University City of Concepción, which has the same style, but is much larger and has more emblematic buildings like this one.
