Assembly by Design
The United Nations and Its Global Interior
Assembly by Design examines the politics and aesthetics of the iconic United Nations headquarters in New York City, exploring how architects experimented with room layouts, media technologies, and design to create a new type of public space: the global interior. Demonstrating how this space leveraged media to help the UN communicate with the world, Olga Touloumi shows how it defined political assembly both inside and outside the UN headquarters.
