ECLAC headquarters, Brutalist administrative building in Vitacura, Chile.

The ECLAC headquarters features 28 supporting pillars on the main floor, creating an open space design with exposed concrete and interwoven volumes.

The building inauguration in 1966 brought together Chilean President Eduardo Frei Montalva and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant for a ceremony marking regional cooperation.

The entrance displays handprints of construction workers and officials, representing the collective effort in building this international organization headquarters.

The headquarters includes an oval pool with water fountains, gardens hosting swans and peacocks, and spaces designed according to Le Corbusier principles.

The North Building renovation project incorporates a photovoltaic rooftop plant generating 475,888 kWh annually, advancing toward net-zero energy consumption.
