Sam Crabtree Blog 5


The Taipei 101 building was a structure that stood out in my mind since its unique shape and beautiful exterior.  Upon further research I found that it is also one of the tallest buildings on earth! This all together made for a very influential building. For a building to be this unique and esthetically pleasing, while being one of the tallest buildings in the world, and structurally maintaining is quite a impressive feat. Dealing with the threats from earthquakes and typhoons would seem to be an issue that would cause a designer to design “ugly” for the structural safety, however the designers here have done an incredible job.
