United Nations Headquarters

Completed 1952
New York, NY
  Le Corbusier, architect

Le Corbusier was one of the architects appointed to plan the permanent buildings for the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The Secretariat, a glass-sided slab which is now a distinguished part of the New York City skyline along the East River, was primarily his design. Le Corbusier's UN building is typical of the International Style.
