Top Most Iconic Skyscrapers around the World

Taipei 101

The Taipei 101 was the world’s tallest skyscraper until 2007, when it was overtaken in height by the Burj Dubai. Taipei 101 is designed to withstand the typhoon winds and earthquake tremors common in Taipei and Taiwan. The height of 101 floors commemorates the renewal of time; the new century that arrived as the tower was built and all the new years that. The tower features a series of eight segments of eight floors each.In Chinese-speaking cultures the number eight is associated with abundance, prosperity and good fortune. On the other hand, number four is unlucky number in China and generally no number four in the buildings.
