One thing I really wanted to see in Hong Kong was Norman Fosters - TopicsExpress



          

One thing I really wanted to see in Hong Kong was Norman Fosters celebrated HSBC tower. Its one of the best skyscrapers in a city of skyscrapers, but I was curious to see what I could glean about his intentions for the new Comcast tower in Philadelphia. As much as I loved its Battleship Galactica techiness and forward-thinking environmental features, its relationship with the street was almost non-existent (much like every other Hong Kong tower). The only thing that saved it were the Filipino domestic workers who were picnicking around the base. It was an unforgettable sight. Every Sunday thousands of these women gather in Central to spend the day with friends on their legally mandated day of rest. Their presence almost made the building seem warm and fuzzy.
