Bank of china tower (hong kong)

The Bank of China Tower is striking against the Hong Kong skyline, it features complex geometry and many tessellated triangles with variation between each when examined vertically. It also features huge glass curtain walls. Construction began in 1985 and was completed in 1990. It was the first super-skyscraper outside of the US, and is currently one of the tallest skyscrapers in Hong Kong. I really like this building and it looks fantastic at sunset because of the borders between and the reflection it gives off. This is a work that I think exemplifies Pei’s form of embellished International Style. It is modern, but also plays with shapes in a way that draws the eye to various aspects of the design.
