Best Answer

At the Empire State Building's location at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, street level is about 50 feet above sea level. All 102 floors from the first up are thus above sea level, as are the two basement levels. The foundation descends for 55 feet, so the very lowest part of the structure seems to be just below sea level.

What is the empire state building's form?

The Empire State Building is composed of multiple shapes. The picture below should help. It has a wider base but is essentially a set of rectangular prisms going up the building. Toward the upper floors there are a pair of rectangular prisms with rounded corners. I suppose these might technically be octagonal prisms (8 sides), I'm not sure. Then there is a set of levels that are square then a cylinder on top. The absolute tippy-top is a hemi-sphere (half sphere).
