I searched for maybe 30 minutes but I can't find out how tall the congress-center in HK is...

I'm talking about the building in the Victoria Harbour just besides Central Plaza.

Can someone help me out? :cheers:

congress centre? don't you mean the exhibition and convention centre?

thats what he means :) Looks like around 40 till 50m tall (but thats my guess...) I also wonder how high it really is. :)

Yes I mean that one sorry. :)

Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre Extension


The Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre Extension (HKCECE) has a grandeur of design that harks back to the great exhibition facilities of the 19th century, when these structures were built to symbolise the achievements and aspirations of the people.
HKCECE is a truly world-class facility. It has the largest curved roof in the world and among the largest glass curtain walls, dining areas and column-free spaces. It is an apt symbol of Hong Kong's status as an international city, being developed by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, designed by local architects Wong & Ouyang in collaboration with US practice SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill); and built by a Hong Kong-French joint venture between Hip Hing Construction and Dragages et Travaux Publics.
Completed at an incredible speed, in time for the handover celebrations in 1997, HKCECE is also an apt symbol of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the curved roof resembling a bird with spread wings heading northwards, an idea inspired by a piece of pottery with a phoenix painted on it. Symbolism aside, the four hectare roof also masks the asymmetry of the building and brings what is a huge structure containing 166,000 sq m of floor space down to a more human scale.
The roof is supported on two 70 m high, 120 m long and several metres-wide core walls. The roof itself comprises 12 pairs of 81 m-long steel trusses clad in two layers of cement panels, a weatherproof membrane and silver-grey aluminium tiles which give the roof its distinctive shimmer. Not only is the roof crucial to the building's identity, it is also highly effective from an environmental point of view ?the layers produce a high insulation value of 0.32 Watts/sq m/degree Celsius. The cantilevered roof is also an effective sunshade which, together with the thermal-efficient curtain walling, produces an OTTV of less than 30 Watts/sq m.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the building is also highly functional. The architect understood the importance of efficient pedestrian and vehicular circulation in a facility for large-scale exhibitions. As a result, the design incorporates a wide pedestrian route across the 90 m-long, three-level high Atrium Link which connects it with the existing exhibition centre; while vehicular access to all exhibition levels is provided to prevent lorries from clogging up the road.
Although a grand structure, HKCECE was nonetheless economically built: on a per square metre basis, it cost only one-third the price of the Tokyo International Forum, the only exhibition venue in Asia which is larger than HKCECE.

thanks Sher,

So we can conclude the roof is 70 meters tall, that is as tall as the tallest office tower in my homecity Breda. :lol:
