The tallest building in the world, C.Y. Lee?s Taipei 101 can be seen from anywhere in Taiwan and is celebrated not only for its size, but also for its innovative use of architecture and design, including Asian faceting and an eight-sectioned shaft.
A massive steel orb marks the outside of the super skyscraper, helping to dampen both typhoon-force winds and seismic tremors. The building also features high-speed lifts ? a standard in almost all new Asian towers.
A significant aspect of the building?s innovative design comes from its approach to light management. Lee outfitted Taipei 101 with 10,000 roller shades custom-engineered by Hunter Douglas. The shades, each measuring about 5 feet wide and 10 feet tall, reduce heat gain and improve visual comfort. The system also helps cut glare without jeopardizing the view.
