AIG Tower and Pedestrian Footbridge

Hong Kong, China
now AIA Central

This project for AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp. consists of an office tower of approximately 366,000-sf (34,000-sm) and includes a pedestrian bridge linking the tower to the Hong Kong elevated walkway network. This partially enclosed pedestrian bridge has two asymmetrical box trusses spanning 150-ft (45-m). S-shaped in plan, the exposed trusses, with its pipe diagonals of diminishing sizes, provide a striking architectural expression.
