  • Chillán, Chile, Show on map

  • This building can be seen as an eclectic collection of a broad range of Le Corbusier designs. An abstract grid, as seen in Ahmedabad, is placed right next to a wavy wall with small windows, as seen at the Chapelle de Ronchamp and La Tourette. Sculptural protrusions, as seen at the church in Firminy, complete the exposed concrete ensemble.

  • Heritage protected in 2008.
