We worked on a proposal in Hong Kong in the Bank of China building, a typical example of outside-in architecture: in one of the building’s corners a column breaks through the floorplate cutting diagonal through the space. Spectacular! Yes, but not from a real estate point of view. Hey! I know, the last thing I want to do is put numbers (HK dollar$) on each and every square cm… That is not my point here, no, the question is how architects look at the creation of space; ie the void or the vessel. Does architecture start from the inside or from the outside?
