Although design ability of Bei Yuming, had gotten the United States builds a person of the same trade approbate, there is no lack of even outstanding work, but there is a regret from beginning to end however in his heart, that is him on the land that was not in China all the time, make a work that lets the world look at with new eyes. Very fast, the opportunity came -- silver-colored edifice prepared to construct in Hong Kong 1982.
This project besides the regret in can finishing Bei Yuming heart, to Bei Yuming the sense is very great, because his father Bei Zuyi is one of founder of branch of Hong Kong of Bank of China.

More important is, hong Kong will return to the motherland 1997, silver-colored edifice was gifted in special significance. It is a building not just, the prospective foreground of more indicative Hong Kong happiness.
But, harbor flower government is dialed at that time in the position of silver-colored edifice, it is minimum of position of the annulus in Hong Kong, traffic a land with poorer, wild environment, overhead road is more on the side from 3 must die this ground casing dead. And, be in in be apart of silver-colored edifice optional location the place of two streets, still one builds what Nuoerman Foss designs stylist especially to collect abundant bank large building by England.
Collect abundant bank large building
This avant-courier that just builds, bold building, asing if is to be in provoking the haven that fix eyes on is coastal the park on the ground a spacecraft, suffer quite in bldg. bound reputably. After silver-colored edifice builds in, industry person of the same trade will naturally have two large buildings one time comparative.
However, large building of the bank that collect abundant is built from time to tome budget of huge 1 billion dollar makes backup force, in the construction financing of silver-colored edifice has 130 million dollar only however. Build capital not much, building position not area of beautiful, ground is too small, this is Bei Yuming in designing a process, what must want give attention to two or morethings to consider is difficult.

Edifice of the silver in how letting above all shows itself between the numerous high-rise of the annulus in Hong Kong? The simplest way jumps over what it builds namely Gao Yue is good, but the problem is, be in the Hong Kong of 80 time, high-rise already much more special, in flourishing a sector of an area, the high-rise density of Hong Kong, had ranked the world the first. Below this kind of circumstance, if think again with tall this provokes defeat sb by a surprise action, be afraid was illogical, but if can make this edifice shell distinctive, beautiful, and if be full of vitality, plus him tall, that should be not talked additionally.
Bei Yuming thinks of above all, it is the bamboo that often sees in gardens in one's childhood. Bamboo not only straightforward and forceful, indicative still hope, rise successively, this special accord with the character and morals that Chinese architect needs to have. And this, on the land that can be in the Hong Kong that is about to return to the motherland, build skyscraper, apply the concept of rings, it is the alternative that had better not pass.

But had conception insufficient still, in traditional high-level structure, the weight of the building follows the addition of floor and increase, lou Yue is tall, column is thicker. Add Hong Kong to often remove a typhoon again. So, have higher demand to the solid level of the building. When facing this kind of additional responsibility and situation of budgetary capital insufficient, perhaps can satisfy at building 50 of a standard box type building only. However, bei Yuming is unwilling the skyscraper that is without new idea at doing only!
Once, bei Yuming is in conception the design of silver-colored edifice, he looks at a few pencil on the desk, seemed what to think of suddenly, take an elastic then, bind 4 pencil in together. Slide when Bei Yuming these pencil, when letting next depart on them, these 4 pencil formed a kind of strewn at random attitude, and exceed upgrade, bulk narrows gradually. Bei Yuming is mad with joy immediately, before he thought of " bamboo " concept, these 4 strewn at random have the pencil that send, resembling is to climbing, the bamboo in growing! Then he draws a blueprint immediately, the model that along with derives by these 4 pencil, a go off with and building engineer discuss.
Complete of edifice of the silver in 1989, enable formally 1990. In silver-colored edifice is mixed with agile appearance far-reaching implied meaning, made the newly bid of Hong Kong. Allegedly after completion of edifice of the silver in at that time, be in exquisite " geomantic the first " Hong Kong, still hit with the bank that collect abundant " geomantic battle " .

Building allegedly geomantic on, of modelling acuteness in silver-colored edifice modelling is just as knife of a 3 steel, edge one side is pointed to " government office of harbor superintend and director " ; Edge the 2nd, point to what be stationed in Gang Yingjun at that time barback; Edge the 3rd, point to the bank that collect abundant. Collect abundant to taking the place with the geomantic and best annulus in Hong Kong at that time, can be in in after silver-colored edifice completion, outstanding achievement dash forward retrogression, share price suffer a disastrous decline!
To dissolve in of silver-colored edifice " edge " brought vent one's ill feeling, the bank that collect abundant is to was in underground is big to do an electric staircase first, form " dragon is bibulous pattern " , again quite originality ground is worn in building top remove two " cannon " with in silver is formed " the battle that the knife prepares Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan " , in order to dissolve in silver-colored " murderous look " . After this, many high-rise imitate periphery to carry an artillery piece on the head in the building stealthily this subtle move
On the bank that collect abundant " cannon "
At this late hour, like be just as rings, climb successively tall in silver-colored edifice, still stand tall and upright in Hong Kong most central place, revealed adequately " the Chinese's great ambition " . And unique exterior design already let it become Hong Kong most one of ground mark that fix eyes upon. Bei Yuming is in China on this land, in this kind geographical environment of Yan Ke falls, realized the desire that him Chinese designs high-rise.
