Despite its name, the building is not made of iron. It instead gets its name from the multicolored bricks mimicking the appearance of iron. The pagoda is one of China's oldest brick pagodas. Standing at thirteen stories tall, the structure has lasted 900+ years. It continues to stand tall after numerous man-made and natural disasters. ]]> ]]> Patron: Emperor Justinian I]]> 537 - Construction is completed

The building's exterior is primarily glass, suited for energy control. LED lights and other electrical control measures are implemented throughout. It has a wind damper as support during inclement weather. Additionally, the building's base consists of eight steel pillars, further strengthening the structure. Taipei 101 was built with the climate in mind, both in withstanding weathering and promoting climate change initiatives.

Drawing from traditional Chinese architecture, the structure resembles a strong bamboo stalk and a pagoda, a building for Buddhist practices. The number eight found in its base is said to be lucky in Chinese numerology. The building is modern in its design and function—sitting in the heart of the bustling city—but it does not erase the works of architects past, instead building on them. Taipei 101 is a major feat of contemporary architecture, implementing modern techniques to its advantage while remaining true to its Chinese background．]]> (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Taipei_101_view_from_below_amk.jpg)]]> ]]> ]]> ]]> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Walters_Art_Museum_ceiling_-_Stierch.jp]]>
