  ARCH655 PARAMETRIC MODELING DESIGN Project 2 Case Study: Taipei 101 Improvement Objective In previous project, I rebuilt Taipei 101 with Rhinoceros 6. In this project I added the pattern onto the layers with python script. Introduction Taipei 101 ,  formerly  Taipei Financial Center , office building in  Taipei ,  Taiwan  (Republic of China). Designed by C.Y. Lee & Partners, a local architectural firm, the  skyscraper  has 101 stories and reaches a height, including the  spire , of 1,667 feet (508 metres).
