The United Nations is a complex which was contructed in 1949 and completed in 1950. It is located in New York City in Turtle Bay which is in east Midtown. It is a huge land owning site taking up 17 acers of manhattan. Going from 42 street up to 48th street between First avenue and the East river. The personal architect for the United Nations was William Harrison. He also had some architectual work with the Rockefeller family. I thought of the United Nations as a secure place. Passing the site in a car it seems pretty empty within pedestrians. It seems weird because the city is a non-empty place to be.
