Descrição: Established only 50 years ago, the United Arab Emirates has, withn the lasi two decades, emerged as a rock of geopolitical stability and a cultural magnet in the Middle East. Almost as an instrument of state policy, architecture has played a role in this UAE's development and national image. Icons such as Jean Nouvel's Louvre Abu Dhabi, Frant Gehry's Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and Skidmore, Owings 5 Merrill's Burj Khalifa in Dubai-a: 152 stories, the tallest building in the world-symbolize the dynamism of the country. Along with its growing presence on the international cultural map the UAE, which is about to serve again on the United Nation's Security Council, has also emerge as a rising diplomatic force in New York. In 2014, having outgrown two floors in an office buiding near the UN, and needing greater presence in the city's diplomatic milieu, the Pemanent Mission of the United Arab Emirates to the UN held an invited competition to design a flagship home. The New York office of 50M won the competition for an infill buildirc en a through-block site between Dag Hammarskjold Plaza and East 46th Street.
