Synopsis

Bank of China explores the iconic Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, examining its architectural innovation, financial context, and cultural impact. The book reveals how this skyscraper became a symbol of China's economic rise while also sparking controversy due to its Feng Shui implications.

 
The tower's unique triangular framework, designed by SOM Architects, significantly reduced steel consumption, showcasing architectural ingenuity. This study provides a unique lens for understanding how buildings can embody financial ambition and cultural identity.

 
The book progresses from the tower's initial planning stages and structural engineering to the financial motivations behind its construction and the cultural anxieties surrounding its design. By analyzing architectural plans, financial reports, and media coverage, the book offers a balanced perspective on the tower's architectural achievements and cultural criticisms.

 
Ultimately, it highlights the complex interplay between aesthetics, economics, and cultural beliefs in shaping our built environment and the ongoing debates about architectural design and Feng Shui principles.
