Taipei 101
In: Taiwan| Technology| Traveling Abroad
9 Oct 2009
The photo above is of the “dampening system” that’s exposed on the 89th floor.
Night view from the 89th floor observatory of Taipei 101.
Dali-esque trippy painting. On the 89th floor, they showcase different artists’ works. They also have a huge collection of natural crystals, fancy globes of the world (they had one for sale for $30K USD), and coral.
Eunmi pointed out the “Sea of Japan” on some of the globes for sale in the Taipei 101 observatory. This is somewhat of a controversy in Korea, because Koreans believe it should be called simply, “The East Sea” to be fair to both countries. If I was a betting man, I’d bet that every globe or map you’ll find within Korea’s borders will surely label the sea as “The East Sea,” or maybe even “The Sea of Korea.”
Structural support for Taipei 101 viewed from the 5th floor. Pretty neat how they designed what would normally be ugly, with aesthetics in mind.
