2 International Finance Center, Hong Kong
Description
Stunning skylines are fuelled by money-and Hong Kong has one of the most stunning in the world. With a lack of land on the island, the only way is up. The most prized-and expensive-plot is the financial district of Central where one skyscraper towers above the rest, star of Batman movies and gleaming white pillar of capitalism, 2 International Finance Center. To ensure the developers made a healthy return on their investment, 2IFC's architects had to not just make the tower look good to lure high paying tenants-but ensure that literally every inch of the skyscraper's design paid back.
