Architecture 2000: Contemporary Cities - Hong Kong, Asia's New Skyline

Plot

The skyline of Hong Kong features ultramodern buildings, but unknown to many visitors from other countries, many of the structures have been built according to an ancient set of rules known as feng shui. It is the belief of followers of feng shui that the directions in which a building face, the placement of doors and windows, and its very location in the environment can influence the lives of the people working within. Such buildings as I. M. Pei's Bank of China and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank by Norman Foster contain important elements of feng shui. Architecture 2000: Contemporary Cities- Hong Kong, Asia's New Skyline is part of a series that examines buildings in major urban cities. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
