My NY Life
My U.N. Neighborhood U.N. headquarters is actually a complex of buildings, but most people think of the iconic Secretariat Building as “the U.N. building.” Completed in 1950 (talk about mid-century!), it was designed mainly by two foremost architects of the time — Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. Here, the Chrysler Building is reflected on its glass facade. via
