June 1971 - April 1972 Proyecto Edificio UNCTAD III: Santiago de Chile (junio 1971 - abril 1972) Maulen de los Reyes, David F. The Unctad III building was inaugurated in April 1972 for the United Nations Third Conference on Trade and Development in the Third World.This was a major project in the history of architecture in Chile. It was emblematic in many different ways,because of the direct influence of the Bauhaus Dessau by Hannes Meyer and because of the likelihood and unlikelihood of a ¨contemporary Chilean art project¨ from an integration and science perspective.During the 70´s it was modified to house the Ministry of Interior of the Military Government. Later it became an Assembly Hall managed by the Ministry of Defense. This building was a part of the imaginary, symbolic and real realms of the city of Santiago. It recently burned down, in March 2006. This fire was caused by negligence and poor maintenance.This article offers a technical and historical perspective on this milestone of modern architecture, not only in Chile but also in South America El edificio UNCTAD III, inaugurado en abril de 1972, fue proyectado para la III Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo en el Tercer Mundo.Para la historia de la arquitectura en Chile éste fue un proyecto emblemático desde perspectivas tan diversas, entre muchísimas otras variables, como lo fue la influencia directa del Bauhaus Dessau de Hannes Meyer, hasta la posibilidad e imposibilidad de un arte contemporáneo chileno desde la perspectiva de la integración y la ciencia.Modificado en los años setenta como Ministerio del Interior de la Junta de Gobierno Militar, y luego como Salón de Actos dependiente del Ministerio de Defensa; este testimonio que unificaba imaginario, simbólico y real de un Santiago de Chile, desde y en la vanguardia arquitectónica local, se pierde en marzo del año 2006 por negligencia frente a un aviso de mantención y prevención de siniestro hecho hace ya algunos años.Aquí se propone una perspectiva técnica e histórica de lo que fue un hito de la modernidad, incluso para América del Sur en su conjunto.
