Sandy hits Manhattan: #Repost from @unitednations with @repostapp --- #Autumn in #NewYork means colour-rich views of #UnitedNations Headquarters, located on the east side of #Manhattan. Built between 1949 and 1952, the landmark building set standards as a unique example of #modernist, international-style #architecture. A five-year #renovation was completed in 2013 to make the building a safer, more #sustainable workplace while restoring its character-defining architectural features. Throughout the year, visitors from around the world take guided tours of the building to get a behind-the-scenes view of the Organization at work, find out about global issues from #development to #disarmament to #humanrights, and learn more about #UN #history.
