Though the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank building and the Hong Kong International Airport in Chep Lap Kok (1998) – both by English architect Norman Foster, in late modern high-tech style – may be Hong Kong’s best-known modern architecture, there are quite a number of fine modernist buildings in the territory designed by old masters. The Lippo Centre, which resembles koalas hugging a tree, is a pair of office towers built in 1987 by American Paul Rudolph.
