International Finance Centre : Hong Kong


Image by AraiGodai
The International Finance Centre (IFC) is an integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong’s Central District.

A prominent landmark on Hong Kong Island, IFC consists of two skyscrapers, the IFC Mall, and the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the tallest building in Hong Kong, a title formerly held by Central Plaza. It is the third-tallest building in the Greater China region and the seventh-tallest office building in the world, based on structural heights; by roof height, only the Taipei 101, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Willis Tower exceed it. It is of similar height to the former World Trade Center.

The International Commerce Centre, currently under construction above the MTR Kowloon station and scheduled for completion in 2010, will surpass 2IFC in each of these categories.

A few nice Shopping images I found:

Shopping – Ecstasy


Image by David Blackwell.
Shopping – a near religious experience in our consumer societies all around the world – with the possible exception of North Korea. Shopping as the New World Religion. Advertising suggests: We stop shopping – we are doomed. Politicians watch their countries’ consumer purchase indices nervously. Listen to the pulse of our society. Get with it. Go out there now and get high on shopping.

Yes, this is a social critique.

Maternal Health in Developing Countries


Image by United Nations Photo
A mom and her newborn baby at the Maternal & Child Health Training Institute for medically needy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Maternal mortality remains a very serious concern in Asia and the Pacific – especially in South and South-West Asia, which has one third of the world’s maternal deaths. Only 5% of births in Nepal and 19% in India were attended by skilled personnel in 2006, according to UNESCAP.

Mental Health: Stress and Work


Image by xeeliz
Cover of an old 1969 Mental Health magazine from the UK I found in one of my old boxes – I used to work in mental health years ago, and these were being thrown out – they were old and out of date when I got them and now they are a curious historical record of a time before platform shoes, before disco, before Thatcher, before yuppies, before the internet – before Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac (yes there was a time before Prozac!)

Some cool Business images:

The new business cards I designed for February London.

Colorplan Ebony 540gsm
Black foiling, overlaid with white foiling
85mm x 55mm
Quantity: 1,000
Typeface: Custodia (OurType foundry, Belgium)

We went with the Colorplan range from GF Smith, a lovely, flecky, tactile stock. At 540gsm, it’s quite a heavy weight but it feels great in the hand.

‘i hate my work job’ | business man project – explored


Image by Adam Foster | Codefor
This image was part of a 6 piece photo essay that became a kind of social experiment at hate.codefor.com titled Poverty of the Mind.

A project for university exploring the impact visual media can have on raising awareness of less known cultural issues in our society. I chose Poverty of the Mind as an issue and created a story of a business man who for whatever reason is unable to peruse his happiness and becomes trapped in a job he is clearly unhappy with!

Thanks to Lewis for being my model for the day! His expression in this photo was not acting, I think he just really didn’t like being in front of the camera for a change (he’s also a photographer), hehe.

BIG is better

Recession business

A new shop opened in our neighbourhood – wonder if it has to do with the (effects of) the financial crisis?..

Disclaimer: Couldn’t help the association: unusual to open a business right now, when most others are closing. No mockery intnded in respect of a dignified business serving a community need, or (even less) a bad-taste joke on its ccustomers.

Queen Rania – World Economic Forum Annual Meeting Davos 2007

DAVOS/SWITZERLAND, 26JAN07 – Queen Rania, of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, captured during the session "Wisdom of Youth" at the Annual Meeting 2007 of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, January 26, 2007.

Fórum – Barcelona


Image by Francisco Sánchez
El Edificio Fórum es un prisma cuya base es un triangulo equilátero de 180 metros de lado y 25 de altura. Fue diseñado por los arquitectos suizos Jacques Herzog y Pierre de Meuron. Se sitúa en el inicio de la avenida Diagonal de Barcelona y constituye el principal emblema del Fórum Universal de las Culturas celebrado en el año 2004.

El techo del edificio contiene una pequeña piscina de escasa profundidad que se utiliza de aislante térmico. Su fachada rugosa de color azul añil se encuentra atravesada por diversas franjas de vidrio que recuerdan agua derramándose del techo. El edificio queda suspendido en el aire mediante 17 puntos de apoyo, creando así un espacio cubierto de uso público a nivel de calle. La planta se encuentra perforada por múltiples claraboyas que atraviesan el edificio en su verticalidad.

Dispone de un auditorio subterráneo de 3.200 plazas y de una sala de exposiciones de 5.000 m2. Un paseo, también subterráneo, conecta este edificio con el Centro de Convenciones Internacional de Barcelona.

Durante el Fórum, se celebraron conferencias múltiples, así como la parte protocolaria de las ceremonias de inauguración y clausura, y acogió varias exposiciones.

También, durante la celebración de este acontecimiento, tuvo que ser cerrado al público durante unos días por desprendimientos del material ignífugo que recubría el techo del edificio y, posteriormente, por problemas de filtraciones de agua, que fueron solucionados de forma inmediata.

A partir del otoño del 2005 acoge un museo sobre el futuro de la ciudad de Barcelona y el desarrollo sostenible. Más adelante, está prevista la instalación de un restaurante y de una capilla en su interior.

Las gradas del auditorio fueron construidas en un material hasta ahora no utilizado en pavimentación, la madera, sobre la cual se aplicó un pavimento de terrazo continuo de color negro a base de resinas epoxídicas y áridos de mármol, de la empresa Pavindus, establecida en Barcelona hace 25 años. La Rambla que llega hasta el auditorio fue construida por la misma empresa, en este caso, en color blanco.
