The UN building in New York, an architectural cult...

The UN building in New York, an architectural cult building in the International Style, was moved in 1952 and remained technically on the same standard for 60 years, until finally a modernization was tackled. The original building was planned and realized by a group of renowned architects who had to come from the Member States. Outstanding were the star architects Le Corbusier, a visionary Swiss-French origin and the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer. The group was led by the American Wallace Harrison, whose excellent relations with the Rockefeller clan were useful. The team worked together for just four months, but at that time, conceptual plans emerged for what the senior architect called the "Workshop for Peace." The architect Michael Adlerstein, who had already restored the Statue of Liberty and the Taj Mahal, described the UN building as the most famous building of the 20th century. The exterior of the Secretariat Tower is formed by two narrow white vertical marble panels to the north and south, while to the east to the East River and west to Times Square, glass fronts dominate the house. Her formal beauty is considered the captivating moment.
The subsequent Great Assembly Building is a total contrast to the skyscraper icon.
The skyscraper was one of the first skyscrapers in the International Style, a flow of classical modern architecture, which had its orientation in Europe in 1922 and later worldwide began. The UN building is therefore a time monument of architecture, which as such deserves its attention.
