A 9 page paper discussing several design points of this product of Sir Norman Foster. Notorious as being the most expensive high-rise built to date, construction took place between 1979 and 1986.

The paper discusses external structural elements, Hong Kong building code, steel treatment, the use of steel pins in the suspended structure and other elements. Appearances do not speak to the exhaustive testing and creative measures used in design and construction. While there is more to any building than that which meets the eye, the Hongkong Bank building takes that idea to extreme limits. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
