ARCH655 PARAMETRIC MODELING DESIGN Project 1 Case Study: Taipei 101 Objective In this project, I tried to rebuild Taipei 101 with Rhinoceros 6. Moreover, I added a small amount of re-design to make it more unique and special. 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). At the time of its official opening in October 2004, it was the world’s tallest building, having surpassed the  Petronas Twin Towers  in  Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia. In 2007 it was exceeded by the  Burj Khalifa , then being built in  Dubai ,  United Arab Emirates . While under construction, Taipei 101 was known as Taipei Financial Center.  -  Robert Lewis  Assistant Editor, Encyclopaedia Britannica. Creating Parametric Form 1.
