Conclusion

    As one of the greatest world financial centers, Hong Kong has an unique modern architecture impression of its own. Some famous buildings, such as Two International Financial Centre, Cheung Kong Center, Exchange Square, HSBC Main Building and Central Plaza etc. in Hong Kong are of the greatest architecture during the past decade, which also made Hong Kong a center of great modern architecture.

    Due to the lack of land and highly developed business there, space is badly needed in Hong Kong. Therefore Hong Kong government cleared the old city during the 20th century and built these famous skyscrapers in order to solve the space problem. That is just why there are so many amazingly tall office buildings there today.

    Hong Kong architecture reflects the trend of architecture in the world. There are postmodern commercial buildings, such as the Two International Finance Centre, Central Tower, HSBC Tower, and modern buildings such as Bank of China Tower, Cheung Kong Center in Hong Kong. Traditional architecture can be seen almost anywhere in Hong Kong Island. This blend of traditional Chinese and Europian architecture, outstanding western modern and postmodern architecture in Hong Kong is a unique architectural sene in the world.
