4.Building into the sky
大樓迭起
When you've got a heck of a lot of people and very little land, what do you do? HongKong's solution is to stack them up on top of each other, inside tall buildings. Once the city started doing it, it couldn't stop. HongKong now has 1,251 skyscrapers and high-rises, the most in the world,creating a dramatic skyline. There'sthe bamboo-like Bank of China by renowned architect I.M. Pei and the 490-meterInternational Commerce Centre (Hong Kong's tallest), the latter of which willbecome a gigantic art piece at the hands of sound artist Carsten Nicolai duringArt Basel Hong Kong 2014.
當人口眾多,而土地面積狹小時,你該怎么辦?香港的做法就是把它們一個一個的疊加在一起,在高樓大廈內部。香港一旦這么做后,就再也停不下來了。香港現在有1251座摩天大樓和高樓大廈,是全世界最多的,天際線異常壯觀。有竹子狀的中國銀行大樓,由著名設計師貝津銘設計,還有490米高的國際商務中心(香港最高),在2014年香港巴塞爾藝術展上后者在聲音藝術家Carsten Nicolai手上變成了巨型藝術品。
