"The two requirements specified were that the building look like a pencil and that it tower above any other structure on earth. With a peak work force of 3,000 men, the 102-story Empire State Building took only 14 months to complete and contains 10 million bricks and 5 acres of windows."

Check this out, then:
http://www.vnooffice.com/file/953b0e...aza_final_.pdf

First page isn't all that flattering of a shot, making its base look huge, lol.
But the second page has a really nice night shot, taken from our friend, Empire State Building

Thanks for tracking the colors, CarlosV. In spring break one night I was in Soho and walking down the block, I caught something bright green in the distance -- the ESB lit up for St. Patrick's. I believe it was West Broadway and Leonard Street, where Varick splits off.

I can't wait to see what they'll do next year with the LED lights they are installing in September.

A rainbow empire state building?

Should be great!
