Taipei 0003 - Architect CP Wang of CY Lee & Partners

World-renowned architect CP Wang of CY Lee & Partners stands in front of Taipei 101, which at 508 meters, stands the tallest building in the world. The jade green bamboo-inspired exterior connotes vigor and sturdiness in Chinese culture. Good idea for a tower that stands 200 meters from a major fault line in a city prone to typhoons. Lee designed eight stories to each of the eight segments because the number "8" signifies prosperous growth. Each segment is shaped like a scepter, with ancient coins on the exterior of the 26th floor to give this modern building a Chinese style.
