So here you see the prominent central building which is the United Nations. In an effort to design a space which had a symbolic relationship to the principles of democracy the architects came up with the concept that no-one should have a corner office. (ie: an office with better views than their co-workers)....So instead they BRICKED IN THE ENTIRE WALL!! ON EITHER SIDE!!!!!...hmmm I guess they didn't think about the poor schmucks working in centrally located offices now with windowless walls to stare at all day!!!....And then....left of frame the other large dark building is Trump Tower...the office workers there enjoy unrestricted 360 degree views of Manhatten and beyond....hmm....seems some are more equal than others....
