Cover: Hong Kong's latest column-free building was erected by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. It stands amidst the hustle and bustle of business activity in Mongkok, on the Kowloon peninsula. The structure consists of the core and a prestressed ribbed slab which spans 73 ft. between external mullions and 48 ft. between mullions and the core. The framing arrangement for the floors was designed to provide open space in the banking halls on the lower three floors and flexible office layout for the upper floors. Palmer & Turner are the architects.
