I want us to know why we smile! Bottom line! We never define anything for ourselves outside of art. We live a life according to a routine without sometimes thinking about it and asking why! We place words on a situation that may not be defined by that word! Love is not always love….what is it? so, what makes you happy? why?

El revestimiento de la fachada esta formado por elementos de piedra caliza de Indiana y granito y cuenta nada menos que con 6.400 ventanas en la fachada. Desde el mirador que se sitúa en su parte superior, se puede observar una vista panorámica de unos 130 kilómetros a la redonda desde la que se divisan Nueva Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut y Massachusetts. Con un peso de 331.000 toneladas, el Empire Estate es uno de los miembros de la Federación Mundial de Grandes Torres y un símbolo de Nueva York y de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Gracias a la económica mano de obra de la época y con un presupuesto total de $ 5 Millones, los 3.500 obreros que participaron en la construcción pudieron levantar cuatro pisos y medio por semana; esto ayudaría en gran medida a que la construcción del famoso rascacielos durase poco más de un año.
