Lippo Centre - Hong Kong # 19

One of the many tall "high-rise" office towers in Admiralty, Hong Kong.

Originally built by Aussie Alan Bond in 1987


The buildings were designed by American architect Paul Rudolph, who strove to relieve the traditional severity of skyscraper walls by designing clusters of obtruding windows.

Local Chinese people regard the building as having bad feng shui because of its chequered history including the high-profile collapse of businesses belonging to successive owners of the building
