Taipei 101

Taipei remains the worlds tallest builting untill work has finnished on Burj tower in Dubai. The most interesting thing about the tower is the 660 tonne weight that sits neer the top of the tower that keeps all 508 metres of the tower stable during hurricanes, earthquakes and anything else that mother nature can throw at it during the next 2500 years.

The 660 tonne ball acts as something called a mass dampner.. and is basically a giant pendulum that reduces the amount of sway in the massive construction.. when combined with the 10,00 psi concrete and 8 mega-columns you have a building that is claimed to be the most stable in the world.. Though I guess it needs to be with all the earthquakes, typhoons and other natural disasters that batter Taiwan regularly.
