IFC Tower two is at present the second tallest architecture in Hong Kong. It is 415 meters in length, and is quoted as having 88 storeys and 22 high-ceiling trading floors [1]. The quantity 8 in Cantonese sounds like “fortune” whereas the quantity 2 in Cantonese sounds like “easy”—together it signifies get wealthy easily. Chinese are crazy like that.

The constructing is created by César Pelli &amp Association Architects and Rocco Design Architects Limited. In addition to getting extremely tall I am never ever really really fond of them. I like architecture with character, not just another phallic skyscraper.

However, I have often located the “claws” on its roof to be fascinating, and I can lastly reached its height! This was shot from ground level with the one hundred-400 at 400mm so you can see just how incredible it is. I am still acquiring utilized to the zoom level and it just is incredible—along with the 6D this is one particular of my ideal buys in current years.
