Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Headquarters
Norman Foster
- Outline
- The building is constructed with trusses over four columns and a suspended multi-story floor, with "sun scoops" installed on the exterior walls and in the 10-story atrium to direct natural light into the interior. In Hong Kong, where there is not much room on the site, the exterior cladding was assembled from first-rate components manufactured in various parts of the world, including the United States and Japan for the equipment modules.
