The UNCTAD III complex, including the 23 story tower, was built to host the UN conference on trade and development, held in April 1972 in Santiago, Chile. Once the conference was over, the architectural complex was used, as it was originally conceived, as a cultural center open to the people.
After de coup d’état of September 11th in 1973 and since the government palace, La Moneda, was bombed that same day, this building became the headquarters of the Government Junta. With the return to democracy in 1990, the building became a conference center and headquarters tower of the Ministry of Defense.
After a big fire in 2006, the reconstruction return it to its origins, that is, a space dedicated to culture and the arts, returning to the original name, Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center – GAM.
Here you see some photos of the architecture of the building, the graffiti photos are linked below with individual pages. Those photos were taken in 2009 when the reconstruction was going on; the murals and graffiti were drawn on the main street Avenida Bernardo O’Higgins Street and on the surrounding walls of the GAM at Villavicencio Street.
