    Masterpieces of WESTERN ARTHumanities : LeCorbusier LeArt Corb uHumsier in New in Yo rkthe City City “A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and 50 times: It is a beautiful catastrophe.” “Manhattan is hot jazz in stone and steel” United Nations Headquarters First Avenue between 42nd Street and 48th Street. Le Corbusier’s only work in New York City, the U.N. Headquarters was actually designed by an international committee directed by American architect Wallace Harrison, and including Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Harrison ultimately chose one of Le Corbusier’s designs as the model for the headquarters, stating that “the only scheme that gets complete satisfaction is an early idea of Le Corbusier’s as carried out, drawn up, by Oscar Niemeyer.” "Providing oce accommodation for 3,400 employees, the Secretariat is a 39 story building with an aluminum grille to conceal equipment on the roof. The narrow end walls are of white marble; the other two elevations are surfaced with green-tinted glass. Floors devoted to mechanical equipment divide these glass facades into three parts...." —Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Arthur Drexler, ed. Built in the USA: Post-war Architecture. p68. "Sited by the East River, the scheme is dominated by the towering slab block of the Secretariat Building, which, with its narrow end walls rising like sheer white clis and it longer sides clad in glass curtain walling, has had considerable inuence on subsequent high buildings throughout the world." — Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p1279. Clockwise from above: Members of the U.N. Permanent Headquarters Commission, including Le Corbusier (L), Ernest Cormier (R) and others discussing the design for the United Nations; Le Corbusier’s early drawing for U.N.

  • Traffic Rules and Regulations/"Green Book" (PDF, 220
    TRAFFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS For the Holland Tunnel Lincoln Tunnel George Washington Bridge Bayonne Bridge Goethals Bridge Outerbridge Crossing Revised September 2016 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a self-supporting agency of the States of New York and New Jersey. It was created by a compact between the two States in 1921 for the development of transportation facilities and the promotion and protection of commerce in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. At the top of the organization is the twelve-member Board of Commissioners, appointed by the Governors of New York and New Jersey. There are six members from each state who serve for six-year overlapping terms. The Commissioners serve with-out pay as a public service. They report directly to the Governors of the two States, who have veto power over Commissioners’ actions. A career staff of more than 7,000 employees, headed by the Executive Director, is responsible to the Board of Commissioners. Over the years the Port Authority, at the direction of the States of New York and New Jersey has developed airports, marine terminals, bridges and tunnels, bus terminals, the PATH rapid transit system, the World Trade Center and other facilities of commerce and transportation. All of this has been accomplished without burden to the taxpayers. These undertakings are public projects; all are built with moneys borrowed solely on the Port Authority’s credit. There is no power to tax, or to pledge the credit of the States. i FOREWORD This booklet is intended to provide the users of Port Authority tunnels and bridges with detailed and specific information concerning rules, regulations and toll rates established by the Port Authority to regulate the conduct of traffic moving in or upon these vehicular crossings.
