This image shows a rare vertical perspective from a non-public semi-open space inside the iconic HSBC Main Building designed by Norman Foster 40 years ago, where one’s perspective from below is framed by the characteristic “cross” symbolic of the bank as shown on the left of the frame. This steel truss forms part of the revolutionary exposed exo-skeleton hanging at the exterior of the “inside-out” building.
