Frankly to say, Taipei 101 literally is the most grand and beautiful building I ever seen. Full of historic and technical element . Awesome!

[@MrDiwani100]

I am here after 3Apr24 Eathquake. Well done architects and the builders of Taipei 101.

[@heman3141]

God bless a free and independent Taiwan!

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Imo the most beautiful skyscraper in the world.

[@Mazigaro]

One of for me

[@AnixCo1990]

The Empire State and Chrysler buildings look better.

[@JayYang0327]

@@AnixCo1990I would say they are beautiful in their own ways. 101 is more elegant and unconventional. Empire State Building is breathtakingly large and simple to look at.

[@lawrence1135]

Most beautiful skyscrapers 1. Macau's Grand Lisboa 2. Taipei 101 3. ???

[@keymot1491]

This and Abraj Al-bait are the most luxurious and gorgeous skyscraper in the world

[@srijankundu2956]

as a civil engineering student it is very important to know how structural damping work.. it is the best example of passive tuned mass damper

[@WenZ-c7n]

What a straightforward yet efficient solution for the damping system

[@amyhong9708]

I love how you explain Taipei 101, and how they built Taipei 101 to handle strong winds and earthquakes. Thanks!

[@mynameisterry]

im so proud to be taiwanese

[@TheInfernalwing]

you should be. your heritage since the arrival of sun yat sen and the development of chiang kai shek is an amazing part of not Taiwan history. Imagine a country not part of the ASEAN but thriving more than other countries.

[@johnkillmoba3718]

You are also chinese

Taipei 101 and the Eiffel Tower are the most beautiful artificial buildings I have ever seen.

[@LOLmusics]

This sphere thing is huuuge ! I just seen it 2 days ago!

[@nazaninamiri6910]

Nice i learn more about taipei 101 ❤❤❤❤

[@brunolimaengenharia]

Great!!!

[@daikoophasianidae]

this is a very sexy building.

[@BuffetBuff]

...and this, to me, being a native to California is the engineering envy of the model world, ingenious in its simplicity and efficaciousness

[@ゲリン]

Im confused.... how are other countries still stupid enough to not recreate the hell out of this magnificent and grand building. Why are our dampers electric that fail in winds... why are our elevators taking 3 business days to get to the top. This is truly marvelous its beautiful. Gifted are the brains behind this.

[@TheInfernalwing]

your answer is in the video.. it costs a lot. The damper used in Taipei 101 can cost an amount enough to build another building. maybe 2 or more buildings in some 3rd world country.

[@yuvan600]

Burj Khalifa and Taipei 101 Are the Two Titan Towers OF Asia

[@colin2420]

It did it again !

[@alanr4845]

4 million dollars sounds like a steal

[@BuffetBuff]

Cordell, Arlo Cordell 是哪一年？

[@peterhenrikpoulsen2026]

I AM. From DENMARK. COPENHAGEN.

[@rdbjrseattle]

It also dampens seismic/ earthquake motion.

[@anneloralavender6752]

actually the design idea for the form takes resemblance of a bamboo, not a pagoda.

[@BuffetBuff]

Hi Kyle Chen! Extraño su

[@Paul20661]

[@beefcake0354]

1:57 been there a couple weeks ago and they said it was 660 tons 🙄🙄

[@niksur7113]

❤❤❤

[@kenny0626]

Who’s also watching this after a earthquake actually happened 😂

[@colin2420]

Who else is here cuz the earthquake 😅

[@lyks9436]

🖐️

[@WinginWolf]

Heheh, modern architecture: Taipei 101. Modern art: | o | o | o |

[@Flame-f9c]

Yeah bro W

[@its_blacknblue]

Who’s scrolling through the comments while listening ?

four phasers and 3 phasers.

The appearance cannot fight KL Twin Tower and 118 Tower

[@shardfilterbox]

It's like when I order chinese food 🤣

[@jaybazza248]

[@jaydenyang-ye6dd]

Is not China is the Taiwan

[@TheInfernalwing]

No, Taiwan is Taiwan. They are not chinese and be careful of calling them chinese, they dont like it.

[@elfietube]

This has got to be one of the ugliest skyscrapers in the world. It does not look like a pagoda because each section of the roof does not shed water like the pagoda roof should but rather each section is designed upside down and retains water. To the untrained eyes, the ornamentation is superficial, almost Po-Mod like and takes away the simplicity of the design. The engineered damper system is probably the only special element of the building.
