the blade - a photo on Flickriver

the blade

The Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong's Central district is designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I. M. Pei. The building is 315.0 m (1,033.5 ft) high with two masts reaching 367.4 m (1,205.4 ft) high. This was the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia from 1990 to 1992, the first building outside the United States to break the 305 m (1,000 ft) mark, and the first composite space frame high-rise building.

This building has been criticised by some practitioners of feng shui for its sharp edges and its negative symbolism by the numerous 'X'. The building's profile from some angles resembles that of a meat cleaver or a blade which could cut into nearby neighbors. See more from : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_China_Tower,_Hong_Kong
