Correction: The building we see today was mainly designed by Niemeyer. Le Corbusier was traveling when the final decisions were made and Niemeyer took the lead and made the major decisions. Only the positioning of the assembly followed Corbusier's wishes (his ego had been hurt)

For several years in the early years of the UN it was located at the sight of the 1939 & 1964 - 1965 worlds fain in Queens. The building is now the Queens Museum and formally the NYC building at the fairs !

Ray Hood was the lead architect of the original Rockefeller center design. Wally only took over because Hood died. And because he was related to the Rockefellers. I live in Albany. You can see the pinnacle of Nelson and Wally's collaboration here.

Only in New York City would an institution of such prominence (putting aside whether the UN is evil or not for a second) have such little positive impact on the surrounding area over the decades. To wit a casino is being proposed on the south side of the campus.

The secretaite building perfectly embodies the ideas and goals of the UN. People have a lack of appreciation for where the international style is best used. People saying its ugly usaly cant to produce a alternative design language that isint inharently flawed as a building representing the world.

Some interiors are interesting with nice detailing, but the exterior shapes are intensely minimal to the extent of brutality -- Brutalism. Much like the building itself, the UN is becoming increasingly irrelevant because the rest of the world sees it as primarily a Western construct that is out of touch with their aspirations.

ITS NOT AN UGLY BUILDING. ITS A VERY ELEGANT MODERN IDEOLOGY. MOST PEOPLE WHO CRITICIZE THIS BUILDING JUST ARE REALLY CRITICIZING THE FACT THAT THIS BUILDING REPRESENTS GLOBALIZATION. WHICH THEY HATE. GLOBALIZATION IS A RELIGIOUS TRAIT. ALL PEOPLES ARE THE SAME. BUT WITH UNIQUE CULTURAL IDENTITY

3:19 Nice illustration of the development toward ugliness. In the middle building there are still arched windows at the top and half way. In the final building every organic form and all variation have been erased. The building has become a vertical desert, but with even less variation than a real desert.
