The Hopewell Center Hong Kong is located at the central business center of Hong Kong island. Built in 1980, it was once the tallest building in Asia in the 80s. There are 30 elevators inside of this building. I cannot imagine a building with 64 floors having no elevator. Employees, customers and workers go up and down everyday with these elevators. Therefore modern architecture requires highly developed machinery engineering to support daily life and transportation inside of it.
