The Secretariat in pictures

The image shows a spacious hall with classical architectural elements. The room features large, evenly spaced stone columns supporting a series of vaulted ceilings. The floor is made of warm-toned wood, contrasting with the white walls and ceilings. The lighting is soft and warm, enhancing the historical ambiance of the space. The image showcases a modern courtyard enclosed by a glass-fronted building. The perspective is from inside a classical-style room, framed by marble columns and an arched ceiling, looking out through glass doors. The courtyard features a minimalist design with a white gravel surface, a small wooden deck area, and greenery, including bamboo plants. The building’s exterior is made up of large glass panels, creating a sleek and contemporary contrast to the classical interior elements. The image shows an elegant, historical interior. The room features intricate parquet flooring with a geometric pattern, ornate wall paneling in cream and gold, and rich red damask wallpaper. Large mirrors and windows reflect light, enhancing the sense of space. A decorative urn on a pedestal adds a classical touch. The open doorways lead to similarly adorned rooms, creating depth and continuity in the architectural design. The image showcases an interior with a marble statue of a classical female figure placed in a recessed alcove. The statue is draped in flowing garments, holding an object in one hand, and wearing a crown or decorative headpiece. The background consists of polished marble walls with gold-trimmed accents. In the foreground, a decorative black wrought iron railing with gold embellishments follows the curve of a staircase. The black-and-white photo captures a historic Vienna street, where the OSCE Secretariat is located now. It features cobblestone roads, elegant multi-story buildings, and a façade with arched windows and decorative reliefs. A shop sign is visible, along with vintage cars and blurred pedestrians. The curved street adds depth, and the dark vignette suggests an old-fashioned camera.
