“怡和大廈 (舊稱康樂大廈) Jardine House (aka Connaught Centre)” / 香港中環商業建築夜之形 Hong Kong Central Commercial Architecture Night Forms / SML.20130323.7D.35869
This is the facade of Jardine House (Chinese: 怡和大廈), one of my favourite architecture in Hong Kong. It was formerly known as Connaught Centre (康樂大廈), but it was renamed some time later. Since I was not aware of its renaming until moving back to Hong Kong in 2012, I deduced that it was likely renamed between 1995-2012. Wikipedia did not say when, but this was the period when I was not living in Hong Kong.
Jardine House is an office tower in Hong Kong. It features these gorgeous circular windows on its facade. With a time-lapse series, it could very possibly be seen playing digital notes, but I don’t yet have access to a secure location in Hong Kong with a view of this architecture, and I am not about to hang out on the street the whole night to photograph that. So until then, here is a still, photographed from the vantage point of City Hall late at night.
Yes this would look very good in black and white also, and it shall be processed as such later on. For now though I think that the disparate yellow lights add a bit of charm to the overall composition so I kept it.
