Bank of China Tower Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The Bank of China Tower (short: BOC Tower) houses the headquarters for the Bank of China in Hong Kong.

It was designed by architect I. M. Pei. The building is 315 meters high with two masts reaching 369 meters (1209 feet) high. The 70 storey building was built in 1989 and is located between Admiralty, Hong Kong and Central, Hong Kong.

The structural expressionism adopted in the design of this building resembles growing bamboo shoots, symbolising livelihood and prosperity. The whole structure is supported by the four steel columns at the corners of the building, with the tranangular frameworks transferring the weight of the structure into these four columns.

The building has been criticised by practitioners of feng shui for its sharp edges.
