3 the hong kong bank
•was the tallest building in Asia and still remains one of the tallest in Hong Kong.
•the tower emerges from a 52-meter cube and reduces its mass, quadrant by quadrant, until a single triangular prism resides.
•The faceted prism is clad in reflective glass that mirrors the changing sky
•The bamboo plant was also a significant inspiration for this unique building. The trunk of this massive structure is representative of the growth patterns of bamboo, the symbol of hope and revitalization in the Chinese culture.
