Beschreibung

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.

    When Mauro Guerra immigrated to the United States with his family in 1982, he had perhaps $20 in his pocket and little knowledge of the way things worked in America. Feeling he had been taken advantage of after being charged a 17 percent interest rate on a loan for the purchase of his first used car, he immediately set out to learn everything he could about how financial matters are handled in his new country. 
    Sebastian and Fabian Guerra, the sons of Mauro Guerra, look back at how the teachings, values, and work ethic of their father inspired them to become partners and owners of a family business that places a special emphasis on helping other families with matters of retirement income planning, investment management, tax planning, healthcare protection, and estate planning. 
    Sharing common experiences with thousands of their clients, the Guerra family over the years has developed plans and strategies—many of them designed to deal with specific needs and challenges facing their community—to bridge the income gap and investment planning challenges many people face upon nearing retirement. Also detailed here are specific strategies to deal with retirement-related tax issues, developing lifetime income streams, estate protection as well as advanced planning for long-term medical care. 
    To be Retirement Ready means to work because you want to and not because you have to. It’s making work an option, and not an obligation. This is our passion and we’re here to help build your personalized retirement story.
