Just saw something on Twitter from the ESB Twitter account that their Halo lights will be shut down for the next few months. And that the 102nd floor observatory will be enveloped in a cocoon. I tried to find news about this on Google and didn't see anything. Does anyone know anything about this development with the ESB ??

The skyscraper-cosplayer in me is kinda cringing at that Empire State Building headdress, it just looks awkward and top heavy.

Not a proposal, but a vision, east 34th.

This is the cocoon. I noticed that they started installing 4 weeks ago. i tried to find out in news with the keyword ''102 observatory renovation'' or ''cocoon Empire State'' but it was worthless, even in the ig page of ESB they seem to be witholding that information until it is finished but finally found why the cocoon was there. i really thought they were expanding the deck but it seems because of the landmark status the shape cant be altered so basically they removed the mooring points for the airship and increasing the size of the windows so they are floor to ceiling.
here you go a picture of the cocoon. by me https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4b431293_b.jpg |

I think in the next 20 years or so, when ESB is literally surrounded by 1000ft+ buildings a debate will be had to bring down the top of the building and rebuild the top 200-300ft taller. Obviously with much of what was taken down as possible.
When the Twin Towers were finished in 1972, the ESB owners considered it. https://www.nytimes.com/1972/10/11/a...ire-state.html I would love them to do this with the Chrysler as well....heck why not even Top Of The Rock??!! These two beyond iconic buildings don't deserve to be overshadowed by mostly, lets be honest, inferior buildings. * Yeh yeh I know. But it's some food for thought. |
