I agree with the person who posted regarding the silver transparent glass. The way it reflects the sky is one of the things I like about the building in Hong Kong. In my photo I tried to capture it with the other silvery buildings nearby and a silvery sky to match.

And I also agree that this building will be iconic!
Indeed. That is a nice picture with a good vantage point. The silver transparent glass that I was refering to would be like the type that Trump Tower Chicago has going on. The building itself is not breathtaking, but the glass makes up for that. Depending on the color of the sky, the building can be said to have a "mood".

This building should be iconic as it will stand out from the rest around it (for a couple of years perhaps). Of course, thats not King would have you believe. I can already see him ranting on this building. I'm guessing the only reason he has not said anything already is because he has yet to find out about it.
