Edificio Petroperú, Brutalist skyscraper in San Isidro District, Lima, Peru.

The Edificio Petroperú rises 82 meters with 22 floors, featuring exposed concrete surfaces and geometric forms characteristic of brutalist architectural principles.

The building emerged from a design competition during Peru's military government in the early 1970s, with architects Walter Weberhofer and Daniel Arana creating the final structure.

The structure stands as a representation of Peru's modernization period, incorporating public offices, ministry departments, and art exhibition spaces within its concrete walls.

Located at the intersection of Luis Bedoya Reyes and Canaval y Moreyra avenues, the building includes three basement levels and a rooftop helipad.

The building's design resembles an oil well structure, reflecting its function as headquarters for Peru's national petroleum company through architectural symbolism.
