 Abstract

This project describes the development of an iconic contemporary building that will be a platform for the United Nations Headquarters for Sustainability. In 1983 the United Nations made a report “Our common future”. This report translates the concern about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development, and led to the groundwork for the policy on sustainable development for the UN. New York has ever since been the Icon of economic growth and prosperity, the place connected to the United Nations councils. Though the sustainable development programs are divided among the councils within the United Nations. To address this problem of environmental deterioration properly the sustainable development programs needs an infrastructure to accommodate and facilitate a new council within the United Nations. The United Nations Headquarters for Sustainability.
