The Empire State Plaza was the idea of then governor Nelson Rockefeller. It was designed by Harrison and Abramovitz and was constructed from 1965 to 1976. Rockefeller reportedly doodled his ideas on a napkin incorporating elements from Brasilia and Chandrigahr. As was typical for urban renewal efforts of the era, an entire neighborhood was destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. The focus of the development was the plaza itself were the buildings are situated along an axis emanating from the 1860s Romanesque Revival capitol building. The capitol building was constructed from 1860 and finally finished in 1899. A series of different architects worked on the building giving it it's mixture of Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. The capitol is on the National Register of Historic Places #71000519, part of the Lafayette Park historic district which is also on the NRHP #78001837, and also a National Historic Landmark. Empire State Plaza is not yet on the NRHP.

These two circular pools on the bottom right of the image create outstanding reflections with just a couple of inches of water in them. According to a guide, these pools were used by the Incas for astronomical observations. Less clear is why two pools and not one, perhaps bigger.
This picture seems to contain an inconsistency which seems to be common throughout 90% of Machu Picchu. Even a casual observer will be able to see that the extreme stone workmanship skills so evident in the bottom half of these walls seem to be totally missing from the upper half. In addition the stone workmanship evident throughout Machu Picchu seems to fall short of that evident in the remaining Inca walls in and around Cuzco. Were the artisans in a hurry to finish? Were the artisans who finished the walls less skilled than those who started it? Cut lines in some stones seem to indicate that Machu Picchu was abandoned unfinished before Pizarro arrived in Peru. Why? The Incas left no written record so we may never know the answers to these questions.
