Empire Center At The Egg Schedule

The 1991 book, The Shock of the New, refers to the buildings as being in "The International Power Style of the Fifties", comparing the buildings to those built by Fascist governments.Crossing through the plaza is the South Mall Arterial, a short highway artery connecting to the Dunn Memorial Bridge.

The Governor Nelson A.Rockefeller Empire State Plaza (commonly known as simply the Empire State Plaza and less formally as The South Mall) is a complex of several state government buildings in downtown Albany, New York.The plaza was the brainchild of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who was inspired to create the new government space after Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands visited Albany for a celebration of the area's Dutch history.

The pyramid-roofed building in the foreground on the right is a corporate office building and not part of the plaza.

The massive scale was designed to be appreciated from across the river as the dominant feature of the Albany skyline.Paying for the construction of the plaza presented a major obstacle, since a bond issue for an Albany project would almost certainly have been voted down by the statewide electorate.

Rockefeller conceived the basic design of the complex with architect Wally Harrison in flight aboard the governor's private plane.

The plaza itself is actually the largest building of all.The plaza tends to be windier than the surrounding city.
