This essay is an excerpt of "Empire State & Building" by Kiel Moe, published by Actar Publishers -- https://lccn.loc.gov/2016949087


Architecture has multiple states. From thermodynamic to political to the geographic states, a central assumption of this book is that these varied states of architecture are inextricably, but often unwittingly, linked through design and building. For any designed organization of matter, energy, and territory, state—in its manifold meanings—should be a central matter of concern.
