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.
