Cover: Bronze, as a colour close to gold, gives an aura of luxury. Used in such vast array as on the new St. George's Building, Hong Kong, its effect is almost Babylonian. The 275ft. high building is entirely clad in bronze-coloured anodised aluminium curtain walling, set with bronze-tinted glass and bronze-coloured toughened glass spandrels. The glass is backed with alumin- ium net curtains to reflect sunlight and reduce the heat load, Mr. Faitfone Wong is the executive architect for the building. The cladding was designed by Marmorek, Womersley & Associates.
