Edificio Tucapel, Art Nouveau residential building in Concepción, Chile.

Edificio Tucapel, also called Edificio Tribunales, is a reinforced-concrete building from 1961 designed by the architect P. Schoeufeld, standing on Calle Tucapel opposite Plaza René Schneider. It is a solid, free-standing block whose ground floor has an open gallery running through it, from the Tucapel entrance to an interior small plaza on the other side. Its apartments now serve as homes, offices and commercial premises.

Built in 1961 to designs by architect P. Schoeufeld, the Edificio Tucapel is counted among the reference works of Concepción's first modernist phase. It stands on Tucapel street facing Plaza René Schneider, where Diagonal Pedro Aguirre Cerda ends, a diagonal added to the city's regulatory plan in 1941. In 2012 the Torre Mall Center rose behind it, altering the panoramic view of the centre.

Locals call it Edificio Tribunales because it faces the Plaza de los Tribunales, the square where Diagonal Pedro Aguirre Cerda ends, a diagonal laid into the city plan in 1941. Its apartments now serve as homes, offices and shops, and the building is listed as architectural heritage of Concepción.

The building stands on Tucapel street facing Plaza René Schneider, also called Plaza de los Tribunales, where Diagonal Pedro Aguirre Cerda ends. Its open ground-floor gallery lets you walk through from the Tucapel entrance to an interior plaza on the far side. The upper floors hold residences, offices and shops, so visit the passage and exterior only.

The open ground-floor gallery lets pedestrians walk straight through the block, from the Tucapel street entrance to a small interior plaza on the far side. The building stands detached from its neighbours, a trait the 2012 Torre Mall Center behind it altered by blocking part of the former open view.
