Conception- Taipei 101

Linking Taipei’s present and future, TAIPEI 101 Tower’s design is inspired by its cultural environment. Opening new possibilities, it embraces the future and moves forward with the world.

TAIPEI 101 Tower rises in 8 canted sections, a design based on the Chinese lucky number “8”. It is a homonym for prosperity in Chinese, and the 8 sections of the structure are designed to create rhythm in symmetry, introducing a new style for skyscrapers

The segmented, subtly slanted exterior reduces the effects of wind and emergencies to mega-buildings. 8 floors comprise an independent section, reducing street-level wind caused by high-rises. Plants are laid out to ensure pedestrian safety and comfort. The building is designed to resemble a growing bamboo, a symbol of everlasting strength in Chinese culture

At night the soft glow cast by TAIPEI 101 illuminates the sky above Taipei. Sections of the building glitter like facets of a diamond, with different levels reflecting light at various angles to present a variety of highlights.
