Taipei 101 features a postmodern architectural design inspired by bamboo, symbolizing growth and resilience. Its structure combines modern engineering with traditional Asian aesthetics. The building uses a tuned mass damper, a 660-ton pendulum, to stabilize against typhoon winds and seismic activity. The exterior is clad in glass and steel with decorative motifs reflecting Chinese culture. The tower’s floors are arranged in groups of eight, considered a lucky number in Chinese culture. Its design is recognized for both aesthetic beauty and engineering innovation.
