2006 Aedas Limited large format hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Since its foundation in Hong Kong two decades ago, the practice which evolved into Aedas Architects has grown faster than a rising skyscraper. Now the largest architectural practice in the city and the eighth largest on Earth. This solid growth was not accidental. The company was established with twin goals; to provide an environment where professionals could develop their skills and to strive for excellence in design. Those aims were achieved. From its roots in Hong Kong, the company spread through China and Southeast Asia, then into the Middle East and India. Corporate links with like-minded architects in Britain leapfrogged the Aedas ethos into Europe. Aedas traces its corporate roots back through architectural companies that existed more than a century ago in Britain and Australia. But the fulcrum of the firm's development was Hong Kong. From a tiny office in Wan Chai with a staff of five people, the Hong Kong practice grew by 2005 to occupy three floors of an imposing commercial building. From offices in Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Macau and Dubai a total of 460 staff report to the Hong Kong office. In Europe, there are 650 staff in 10 offices throughout Britain and in Warsaw. The phenomenal growth of Aedas is not only the story of professional architects with a passion for perfection, but a tale of entrepreneurial zeal, of men and women determined to build a better world. This 260-page book tracks the exciting story of Aedas. The practice has made a unique contribution to Asian architecture. It has played a role in the growth of China and the rest of Asia and intends to be involved even more passionately in future developments. Lavishly illustrated with more than 350 photographs, architectural sketches and building concepts, Making Connections is a volume that tells in a fresh and invigorating manner how modern Asia is being rebuilt.…
