Tall Emblem Structure
People always have a desire, even those who do not dread the offending God to build the tower of Babel. The fall didn’t stop trying to continue to ascend the human, of course, subsequent attempts, is more reverence and respect. Saint- Michel chapel is established in twelfth Century, erected in the French Aiguilhe rock on. Nearly 100 meters tall igneous rock didn’t seem to stop the build, either cannot stop the pilgrims.
Ancient Chinese mountaineering is undoubtedly associated with worship and ritual activities related to each other, because the landscape and human life as inherently movement and spiritual strength. «Climbing» is also a culture; it embodies the people’s love of nature. The ancient sages in the landscape in the fulfillment, saint to his intelligence summary found «Tao», landscape beauty reflected better «Tao». Visitors to the new tower Taiwan Tower, which project was proposed by the architectural firm Design Crew for Architecture (DCA), will need courage for climbing the Taiwan tower with 350 meter high. But climbing mountains people can explain its top after the pleasure, but the future up yonder «tower» visitors will also have the same feeling.
Stroll
This 350 meters tower is divided in tall 3 periods with different functions and the atmosphere of the space. Each section consists of a pro interface platform segmentation. With efficient direct vertical traffic at the same time, a coiled and outdoor tour ramp is introduced into the design; visitors can take the elevator to the top, also can stroll «feels» the air corridor, watch changes in scenery among 350 meters. The «wandering path», is a disk road, tree-lined. At the same time ramp using SEF technology, visitors walking pedaling generate ground extrusion and vibration, thus SEF can be converted into electrical energy. The tower of Taiwan is not only a tower, visitor is interacting with tower.
Wind
High buildings are so subjected to strong wind pressure that their distortion is inevitable. This scheme borrows forming Pro interface main body structure, the pulling rope. Enhancement of wind resistance, but did not increase too much wind area, and transparent and slender cable no break of Taiwan tower towering tall and straight. Light transparent tower, designed to possibly use less materials, lower cost and at the same time, also reduces the production of these building materials consumption of natural energy.
