Landmark for Kaohsiung Port


Challenging the notion of conventional skyscraper where floors are simply stacked on top of another to reach the top, this tower has an external screen that is creatively crafted to serve both the aesthetics and functional purposes. The diagonal structural bracing creates a kind of dynamism vertically and gives rise to an interesting form. The tower stands out among its more boringly designed neighbors to declare that the time has come for Taiwanese architects to compete at the international stage.
