Empire State Plaza Building Pack
This is a building pack with everything needed to build the Empire State Plaza in Albany, NY.
I’ve shown the buildings mostly in a recreation of their actual configuration, but this pack leaves you the freedom to arrange them however you see fit.
Included in the pack:
– Erastus Corning Tower
– 4 Agency Buildings
– The “Egg”
– 3 reflecting pools, including the Alexander Calder Sculpture “Triangles and Arches”
The Empire State Plaza is a massive development in Albany, meant to form this state capitol into a global city. Imagined by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, it was designed by the architect Wallace Harrison, a canonical master of the International style. The towers house offices for the state government, while The Egg contains two theaters.
The towers are level 2 Unique Buildings, while the Egg is level 5. The pools show up under the plazas tab.
A quick technical note: After placing one of the towers, the others will show the icon for having been built. Ignore this, they’re still buildable.
The complex’s design destroyed a lively neighborhood when it was built, and still separates and alienates many parts of Albany. Maybe you can imagine more sympathetic uses for these much loved, and much reviled landmarks.
