 DESIGN PHILOSPHY & CONCEPT

LEE & PARTNERS Architects & Planners.

C.Y. Lee & Partners is an architectural partnership initiated
by architects C.Y. Lee and C.P. Wang in 1978. With V.T. Wu
as the firm's general manager.
•The design is inspired by traditional Chinese
architecture, With a shape resembling a pagoda.
•The sectioned tower is also inspired by the bamboo
plant which is a model of strength, resilience, and
elegance.
•The tower's design specifications are based on the
number "8", a lucky number in
traditional Chinese culture;
•It features 8 upward-flaring
sections, and is supported by 8
Super-columns.
The challenges to design and build a super-tall
building in Taipei
•Height
•Typhoon
•Winds
• Frequent strong Earthquakes
•Weak clayey soils
as the earth beneath Taipei is soft clay, it demands uniquely designed foundation
General layout of the building
showing various elements

• SUPER CLOUMNS
• OUTRIGGER TRUSS
• MEGAFRAME
• PILINGS
Foundation details
• One of the most stable buildings
ever constructed
•Reinforced by 380 piles driven
80m into the ground
•Each pile is 5 feet in diameter and
can withstand a load of 1100-1450 tons.
Massive damper

• A 900-ton tuned mass damper is

installed on the 87th floor to counter
earthquakes and typhoons.
• It is one of the few in the world on
display to visitors and can be seen
up close on the 89th floor.
• Damper that keeps the building
safe from the unfortunate effects
of wind and earthquake vibration
