#1 "The elegant corridors ... "

There should be absolutely NOTHING ELEGANT about the UN. It should look like a Spartan prison. It should be 100% functional without a speck of "elegance" or opulence.

As far as I am concerned the entire building should be made of rough concrete with linoleum floors and be furnished with cold steel desks and chairs.
