UN in New York after 50 years

Fritz Reuter, the chief leader of the UN headquarters renovation in New York, personally met in Brazil on April 18, 2006, with the last living author of the United Nations headquarters. Today, ninety-nine-year-old Oscar Niemeyer was part of a twelve-member team that included Le Corbusier and Sir Howard Robertson. The 39-story United Nations headquarters on Manhattan's East Side will undergo an expensive renovation that will last until 2014 and cost $1.5 billion. Info>
