AHEAD OF ASSEMBLY HALL RENOVATION, UN HONOURS DESIGNERS OF ITS ICONIC
HEADQUARTERSNew York, Apr 24 2013 7:00PMWith an extensive renovation
of the great General Assembly Hall imminent, United Nations officials
today paid tribute to architect Oscar Niemeyer and other members of
the UN board of design in a ceremony that revisited the inception of
the iconic Headquarters project.

"Our architects were ahead of the times," Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6770">said as
he helped open the proceedings, noting that the Secretariat building
was the first based on its particular glass and steel structure. "I
hope that we will follow their example and stay at the vanguard when
it comes to solving global problems," he added.

Mr. Ban recalled that a Board of Design was created to create a
complex that would express the vision of the United Nations set out in
its Charter, bringing together 11 architects from around the world.

The youngest and last surviving member of the Board, the Brazilian
architect Oscar Niemeyer, died in December 2012 at the age of 104. At
that time Mr. Ban noted that he was responsible for many iconic
structures throughout the world.

Recounting the dynamics of the design process, General Assembly
President Vuk Jeremic, said that the Board architects fashioned an
edifice to lift the spirits and stir the soul.

"As we prepare to close the General Assembly Hall for the Capital
Master Plan renovations, we can reflect on the role our buildings have
played in promoting mutual respect and sovereign equality in
multilateralism, encouraging us to 'live together in peace with one
another as good neighbours,' he said, citing the UN Charter.

"This Pantheon of mankind has seen confrontation and compromise,
triumphs of justice and tests of will, purposefulness and
perseverance. These walls have echoed through the years with the words
of statesmen dedicated to advancing the quest for peace," he added.Apr
