How long will the Empire State Building last?

It is estimated that the Empire State Building can be used for a long time. Although it has been built for more than 70 years, it is a reinforced building. You can always use it as long as you are willing to renovate it. It doesn't need large-scale demolition for at least 150 years after its completion.

The Empire State Building is not only a multi-functional office building, but also one of the tourist attractions in new york. Every day, a large number of tourists queue up to take the elevator to the top.

1955, the American Society of Civil Engineers rated the Empire State Building as one of the seven engineering wonders of the modern world. New york Landmarks Committee selected it as a landmark of new york City, and the building was recognized as a national historical landmark of the United States on 1986. ?

Features of the Empire State Building

The decorative art style of architecture is a typical architectural style of new york before World War II. The hall of the building is three stories high, decorated with aluminum relief of the Empire State Building, and there is no spire antenna tower.

The North Corridor, decorated with eight light panels, was built by Roy Sparkia and Renée Nemorov in 1963 to welcome the 1964 World Expo, depicting that the Empire State Building is called the eighth wonder in the world, and it ranks with the other seven wonders. These lights were later moved to the vicinity of the ticket office of the observation deck.

Until the 1960 s, the ceiling of the hall was still a luminous drawing board in the art deco style, and later it was changed to a fluorescent ceiling. Because this original mural was designed by an artist named Ye Xiaokai Ni andros, it was damaged and replaced by a replica. More than 50 artists and workers used 65,438+05,000 square feet of aluminum and 65,438+0300 square feet of 23 Clark works to rebuild murals.
