Edificio de la Cooperativa Eléctrica de Chillán, Modernist building in Chillán, Chile
The Electrical Cooperative Building features exposed reinforced concrete construction with double cone columns and light-filtering facades across 630 square meters.
Built between 1962 and 1965 following the 1939 Chillán earthquake, this structure represents the city's reconstruction period with modern architectural influences.
The building exemplifies Chilean modern architecture through its integration of natural light, sun patterns, and local construction methods.
Located at 1079 Maipón Street, the structure continues to serve as offices for the Electrical Cooperative of Chillán.
The north and south facades differ intentionally: the south remains flat while the north contains volumetric elements for enhanced natural light capture.
