Avianca Building, Office skyscraper at Seventh Avenue and 16th Street, Bogotá, Colombia.
The 161-meter-tall building features continuous windows on both sides and contains 40 floors of office space near Santander Park.
The construction started in 1966 on the former Regina hotel site and upon completion in 1969 became South America's tallest international style skyscraper.
The structure represents a collaboration between Colombian architectural firms Esguerra Saenz, Urdaneta, Samper and Co., and Italian architect Domenico Parma.
The building functions as the headquarters for Avianca airlines and contains 17 elevators serving its numerous corporate tenants.
In 1973, the building survived a major fire that spread from the 14th to 37th floor, requiring helicopter rescues but causing minimal structural damage.
