Abstract:

The Empire State Building is one of the hallmarks of New York and has often been regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. 381 metres high, for nearly half a century it was the tallest structure on Earth. With 102 floors, it towers over the skyline of Manhattan. The weight of the Empire State Building is borne by a total of 210 pillars — a seemingly unshakeable steel bulwark.
