Abstract

The CEPAL building in Santiago de Chile (1960), once built, became an icon of modern architecture in Chile and throughout Latin America. The paper analyses, through the building plans and drawings, the level of involvement of this project with the modernist movement, particularly the close relationship to the contemporary proposals of Le Corbusier in Chandigarh and La Tourette or Ronchamp, immediate points of reference for the CEPAL project.
