Taipei 101 skyscraper
Taipei 101 was officially classified as the world's tallest skyscraper from its opening on 31 December 2004 and the first building to break the half-kilometer mark in height (508.2 metres), but the Burj Khalifa surpassed it in 2010.
The design of Taipei 101 incorporated Asian pagoda, bamboo and Chinese-ingot symbolism; the bamboo element caught my attention even before it was finished and I had always wanted to see this building ever since!
