I agree with MM. The sentence will be a shortened form of: "The architecture {(that is) exhibited in the Empire State Building and (is) conveying to us the idea of the prevailing attitude of the day} is important for the historical and cultural value it represents." Please note that "convey" is an obligatory mono-transitive verb. It can take only a direct object.

Off topic: "Please tell me what the correct answer is".
Not "Please tell me what is the correct answer".

Indirect interrogatives don't invert word order as direct interrogatives do.

Hi CalifJim,

Can I say ,"What did you say your name was?". Also, would you please explain about 'Indirect interrogatives'?
