Hong Kong Day & Night
While in Hong Kong - combining fun & work - it's an interesting journey to get a proper look at Asian web design. Due to Hong Kong's heavy focus on finance and business, there seems to be a noticable lull in creative web design. Most Chinese websites still seem incredibly static. But.. while heavy snow and subzero temperatures sweep across Europe, closing major airports in Britain, weather is pretty near perfect here. Like night and day.
Bank of China Tower, Hong Kong, by day & night.
And speaking of design in a more general sense; the structural expressionism adopted in the design of this building resembles growing bamboo shoots, symbolising livelihood and prosperity. While its distinctive look makes it one of Hong Kong's most identifiable landmarks today, it was the source of some controversy at one time, as the bank is the only major building in Hong Kong to have bypassed the convention of consulting with feng shui masters on matters of design prior to construction.
Makes me wonder what feng shui masters may be able to add to web design..
