TAIPEI 101 is located in a prime location in Taipei. The project was primarily planned by the Taipei Financial Center Corporation, a consortium of fourteen companies, in collaboration with a professional team. Masterfully designed by architect Li Zuyuan, the tower transcends the concept of a single volume, incorporating the auspicious number "eight" (a homophone for "prosperity") as a design unit. Each eight floors forms a structural unit, interconnected and stacked to form a cohesive whole. The resulting exterior creates a rhythmic aesthetic, ushering in a new style for international skyscrapers. The building's shape resembles a strong bamboo that rises higher and is flexible, symbolizing the traditional architectural meaning of endless life. Infinite Sky: Using a unique mirroring principle, through the layers of reflection and projection on the ceiling and floor, visitors can experience the visual experience of the world being within reach and extending infinitely, making them feel as if they are in a kaleidoscope world. Friendly reminder: Female visitors wearing short skirts should be aware of the reflection problem of the mirror floor. Wind Damper Balls: Taipei 101's wind damper balls, officially known as Tuned Mass Damper (TMD), are a passive damping system tailored to the building's needs. Positioned centrally between floors 87 and 92, their primary purpose is to reduce the building's swaying during strong winds, minimizing discomfort for those working there. Unlike traditional concealed damping systems, the Taipei 101 wind damper balls are designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. The entire damping system's operation can be viewed from the observation deck. Super-High-Speed Elevators: The Taipei 101 Observatory is equipped with two super-high-speed elevators, capable of reaching speeds of up to 1,010 meters per minute. A journey from the 5th floor to the 89th floor observatory takes just 37 seconds. These elevators are equipped with a constant pressure system, dampers, and high-temperature-resistant ceramic brakes, making them intelligent, high-speed elevators. The 89th-floor indoor observation deck, ablaze with lights at night, illuminates the glass landscape, creating a dreamlike and immersive experience. Not only does it offer panoramic views of the million-dollar nightscape, but it also features a unique photo window, making every moment a memorable one! A secret garden in the clouds: a stunning photo spot where romantic scenes complement the high-altitude city views, creating a beautiful scene. The multi-section exterior naturally mitigates the wind field effect caused by airflow caused by high-rise buildings on the ground, and ensures the safety and comfort of pedestrians through the separation of green planting areas in the architectural design. Rainbow Neon District: Overlooking the night view from a high altitude, with neon lights, it is a popular check-in spot for photos and is not to be missed!
