Taipei 101

Living in Taiwan, but always nothing more than a visitor to Taipei, my arrival to the capital is usually marked by the sighting of Taipei 101, no matter which direction I approach from. And no matter where you are in the city, the tower serves as a point of reference for which district you are in, much the same way Table Mountain does for anyone moving around Cape Town.

The design is unique with every inch drenched in symbology that speaks for the culture, history and natural flora of the region, and the identity of the people that live under its watch every single day.​
