Riassunto

An account of revolutionary architect Norman Foster's design and construction of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank's headquarters in Hong Kong. It unfolds the drama behind the development of one of the most important buildings of the twentieth century. Granted unlimited access to the records of both Norman Foster and the bank, Willimas recreates the events that cast this architectural tour de force into the midst of international controversy and internal conflict. For the first time, the vast range of specialist expertise, conflicts and dangers through which a modern architectural masterpiece must pass is revealed. Stephanie Willims is an architectural journalist who has written for many newspapers and journals, from the "Sunday Times" to the "Architectural Review".
