Tres Facultades Building, Brutalist university building in La Plata, Argentina.
The Tres Facultades Building forms an L-shaped structure with exposed concrete facades and geometric patterns spanning several floors at the National University of La Plata.
Construction of the educational complex began in the late 1960s under architects Atilio Sacchi and Dussan Duich, though the original plan for full block occupation remained incomplete.
The building received its current name, Edificio Sergio Karakachoff, in 2018 to commemorate a student who lost his life during Argentina's military dictatorship.
After extensive renovations in 2014, the structure now houses a convention center, an art and culture center, and connects to the university presidency building through the Bicentennial Passage.
The interior design features double and triple-height central spaces that created an urban legend about its panopticon-like surveillance capabilities.
