每年9月,纽约市的交通都会被两个不同着装规范的活动所束缚:时装周和联合国大会。今年,随着纽约时装周在市中心更多的新场所落户,联合国将举行会议,庆祝其成立70周年,就像1952年成立以来,在其标志性的住宅区总部举行的会议。尽管议程不同,但这两件事都着眼于设计。
在其第70届会议上,联合国将强调其总部-建筑现代主义的里程碑-对该机构的贡献。由勒柯布西耶、奥斯卡·尼迈耶、斯文·马凯利斯和美国建筑师华莱士·哈里森等大师组成的委员会设计的这些建筑,不仅是政治的象征,也是设计的象征。为了纪念这一周年并庆祝其庞大的恢复项目,里佐利将于10月出版“联合国70:恢复和复兴”。
在过去十年里,联合国进行了近13亿英镑的校园修复,消除了铅和石棉,减少了约50%的水和能源消耗,并取消了多年来进行的一些修改。联合国助理秘书长迈克尔·阿德勒斯坦(MichaelAdlerstein)解释说,它所有的标志性空间都已恢复到1952年大楼首次开放时的原貌。这些空间包括一个罕见的北欧室内三层:安全理事会会议厅由挪威建筑师Arnstein Arneberg设计;托管理事会会议厅由丹麦建筑师兼设计师Finn Juhl设计;经济及社会理事会会议厅由Sven Markelius设计。Adlerstein强调说,所有的固定装置和家具都已经恢复到了大楼第一次开放时的样子。
尽管该机构经历了深刻的变革(其50个宪章国家已膨胀到193个,其工作人员增加了10倍),但最初的空间规划成功地适应了这些变化。正如阿德勒斯坦所观察到的,“这个设计有它自己的特色”。
Over the last decade, the UN has undertaken a nearly £1.3 billion campus restoration, ridding it of lead and asbestos, cutting water and energy consumption by about 50 per cent, and undoing modifications carried out over the years. Photography: Gary Rosenberg
'All of its iconic spaces have been restored to the original appearance they had in 1952 when the building first opened,' explained Michael Adlerstein, the UN assistant secretary general, who directed the restoration. Photography: JC McIlwaine
