This eleven-storey office block nearing completion on Nathan Road, Kowloon, is typical of the Hong Kong scene and in marked contrast to the two-storey, deep-balconied 'colonial-style' building next door-relic of a less crowded past. Like most new buildings it is of ferro-concrete-the bars and rounds required to reinforce the concrete being produced locally from scrap. Even in the most modern construction work the scaffolding framework is almost invariably 'traditional'-made of bamboo poles lashed together-but 100% effective in use.
