[00:09] Taipei 101, the world's tallest.
[00:12] Taipei 101, the world's tallest skyscraper.
[00:16] 508 m of the most high-tech engineering.
[00:19] 508 m of the most high-tech engineering and construction on the planet.
[00:24] Mixing ancient values with cuttingedge.
[00:26] Mixing ancient values with cuttingedge technology.
[00:28] technology and taking the heart of Taiwan into the.
[00:30] and taking the heart of Taiwan into the future.
[00:33] future.
[00:44] Designing and building the world's.
[00:45] Designing and building the world's tallest skyscraper is no easy task.
[00:49] tallest skyscraper is no easy task. But here in Taipei, two of the most powerful.
[00:51] here in Taipei, two of the most powerful forces of nature, earthquakes and.
[00:53] forces of nature, earthquakes and typhoons, combined to make going super.
[00:56] typhoons, combined to make going super tall a super challenge.
[00:58] tall a super challenge. I mean, any tall building in the world.
[00:59] I mean, any tall building in the world is is is a feat of engineering.
[01:03] is is is a feat of engineering. Using worldleading engineering and.
[01:05] Using worldleading engineering and construction techniques, Taipei 101 not.
[01:08] construction techniques, Taipei 101 not so much conquers nature, but outsmarts.
[01:10] so much conquers nature, but outsmarts it.
[01:14] This is the only super tall building in the world that's designed in a seismically active zone.
[01:19] This has never been done before.
[01:21] Certainly not to this scale.
[01:24] The result is a man-made marvel.
[01:27] A unique mega structure of unprecedented size, shape, and technology built to withstand the very worst that nature can dish out.
[01:37] I, for one, I'm a structural engineer.
[01:39] If there's going to be an earthquake in Taipei, I want to be in this building.
[01:42] I mean, I all truth is this above all else.
[01:45] And it's not just as a superructure where Taipei 101 pushes the boundaries.
[01:51] We are not only managing a building or city of a city.
[01:57] I believe we're managing the symbol and landmark of Taiwan.
[02:02] Taipei 101 is a benchmark of technological brilliance and innovation.
[02:08] A record-breaking mega structure that defies nature and puts the small island
[02:13] defies nature and puts the small island of Taiwan firmly amongst the giants of global industry.
[02:19] For as long as humans have been making buildings, those buildings have been getting taller.
[02:25] From the Empire State Building in 1931, Sears Tower in 1974, Central Plaza Hong Kong in 1992, to the recent Patronis Towers in Koala Lumpur.
[02:40] Skyscrapers are buildings that go beyond functionality.
[02:45] They are symbols of prosperity and power, icons of wealth and industrial might.
[02:55] If you're looking at the history of skyscrapers, really you begin in America.
[02:58] Chicago and New York are the classic cases.
[03:01] But in the last, let's say, 1015 years, Asia's really boomed with regards to the building of large structures.
[03:09] In recent years, Asia has seen an explosion of mega scale building and
[03:14] explosion of mega scale building and industry.
[03:15] industry.
[03:17] The region now holds eight of the world's 10 tallest buildings.
[03:20] world's 10 tallest buildings.
[03:22] And as modern construction methods and materials continue to improve, designers will continue to aim ever higher.
[03:24] materials continue to improve, designers
[03:28] will continue to aim ever higher.
[03:30] Not because they have to, but because they can.
[03:34] Developer Harris Lynn is one of the most powerful and successful businessmen in all of Taiwan.
[03:35] of the most powerful and successful businessmen in all of Taiwan.
[03:39] A member of a major construction dynasty, for him, Taipei 101 is the result of a lifelong ambition.
[03:41] A member of a major construction dynasty, for him, Taipei 101 is the
[03:44] result of a lifelong ambition.
[03:47] Since I was a boy, I have dreamt that one day I would build a great building, one which will benefit later generations for a very long time.
[03:49] was a boy, I have dreamt that one day I would build a great building, one which
[03:51] will benefit later generations for a very long time.
[03:53] very long time.
[03:56] For Harris Lynn, Taipei 101 is more than just a building.
[03:59] For Harris Lynn, Taipei 101 is more than
[04:01] just a building.
[04:03] It's a statement on Taiwan, its people, and its future.
[04:07] its people, and its future.
[04:09] a notice to the rest of the world that Taiwan has the technology, the industry, and the determination not just to join
[04:11] Taiwan has the technology, the industry,
[04:14] and the determination not just to join the giants of global industry, but to lead them.
[04:18] There's no better way really of getting global attention than building these super tall buildings, particularly if it's the highest in the world.
[04:25] Initially earmarked as the centerpiece for the growing and glitzy Chong Xan district known as Taipe's Manhattan, the primary goal for the building is to be the best, but not necessarily the tallest.
[04:38] Long-standing friend of Harris, architect CP Wang from Cy Lee and Associates comes into the project in the early stages.
[04:45] Uh we started with uh uh three buildings uh a 60tory building in the center and two smaller buildings that are about 20 stories for uh for the different uh uh shareholders.
[05:01] But plans quickly evolve as key investors clamor to have the building push up, not out.
[05:08] The plan 60 stories soon turns into 88.
[05:12] And with the mantle of the world's tallest a mere 13 floors away, the
[05:16] tallest a mere 13 floors away, the momentum becomes unstoppable.
[05:19] momentum becomes unstoppable.
[05:19] We truly believed we could do it.
[05:22] We truly believed we could do it.
[05:22] That if we worked hard, we could make a building that was visible to the entire world.
[05:24] if we worked hard, we could make a building that was visible to the entire
[05:26] building that was visible to the entire world.
[05:29] world.
[05:29] But three factors combined to make this project not only the tallest and most visible in the world, but also one of the most difficult to build.
[05:31] But three factors combined to make this project not only the tallest and most
[05:33] project not only the tallest and most visible in the world, but also one of
[05:36] visible in the world, but also one of the most difficult to build.
[05:38] the most difficult to build.
[05:38] Taipei city is an inhospitable place to build a skyscraper.
[05:41] Taipei city is an inhospitable place to build a skyscraper.
[05:41] Beneath the earth, a thick layer of soft clay demands uniquely designed foundations.

[05:44] Beneath the earth, a thick layer of soft clay demands uniquely designed foundations.
[05:46] thick layer of soft clay demands uniquely designed foundations.

[05:48] While above ground, the threat of earthquakes and typhoons requires a level of engineering and construction never before achieved.
[05:50] While above ground, the threat of earthquakes and typhoons requires a

[05:55] level of engineering and construction never before achieved.
[05:58] never before achieved.
[05:58] If Harris Lynn wants to make the tallest building in the world here, his engineers and builders will have to confront the power of the earth.
[06:00] If Harris Lynn wants to make the tallest building in the world here, his
[06:02] building in the world here, his engineers and builders will have to

[06:09] designing a structure flexible enough to resist an earthquake but stiff enough to
[06:11] resist an earthquake but stiff enough to resist a typhoon.
[06:14] resist a typhoon.
[06:14] Contradictory requirements that until now have never
[06:16] requirements that until now have never been combined.
[06:18] been combined.
[06:21] All these different mixtures of u elements have to be blended almost superbly in order to make the building achievable.
[06:25] achievable.
[06:27] The solution will combine two revolutionary systems.
[06:32] First, a braced mega frame joined to eight super columns filled with a mixture of steel and concrete.
[06:36] And a tuned mass damper, a giant pendulum, the weight of 10,000 people designed to oppose the effect of wind.
[06:44] The combination of these two concepts is groundbreaking.
[06:49] I am very proud of it.
[06:52] And uh uh as architect you don't get a lot of opportunity to work on something uh uh of this uh magnitude.
[07:00] Construction will take 6 years, 2,000 workers at any one time and 700,000 tons of the most advanced steel and concrete ever made.
[07:10] These cost more than uh the national GDP of some countries.
[07:13] Yet, despite all the investment, ingenuity, and determination
[07:18] investment, ingenuity, and determination of humankind, the forces of nature can
[07:21] of humankind, the forces of nature can strike at any time, whether you're ready
[07:24] strike at any time, whether you're ready or not.
[07:38] Taipei 101 will be built to withstand
[07:41] Taipei 101 will be built to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, but it also
[07:43] earthquakes and typhoons, but it also needs to withstand the test of time.
[07:46] needs to withstand the test of time. To be a true landmark, it must look unique.

[08:00] perfect form of an open flower, and the luck and prosperity associated with the
[08:02] luck and prosperity associated with the number eight.

[08:08] We tried uh very hard to do something uh that we hope can represent the city, the
[08:11] that we hope can represent the city, the the island uh as well as our culture.
[08:15] the island uh as well as our culture. The result is this. 508 m tall, 101
[08:20] The result is this.
[08:20] 508 m tall, 101 floors from ground level.
[08:25] A building that looks completely unique,
[08:28] A building that looks completely unique, but soon proves challenging to build.
[08:33] Every major skyscraper in the world is a
[08:35] Every major skyscraper in the world is a trade-off between what will look good
[08:38] trade-off between what will look good and what will stand up.
[08:41] and what will stand up.

[08:56] Taipei 101 will be the tallest
[08:58] Taipei 101 will be the tallest skyscraper on Earth.

[09:00] And the forces on a building of this
[09:02] And the forces on a building of this scale are truly immense.

[09:05] Gravity forces it down while wind pushes

[09:20] Most skyscrapers have exterior walls
[09:22] Most skyscrapers have exterior walls that are either straight up and down or sloping in.
[09:24] But Type A 101's unique shape sees much of its exterior surface sloping out.
[09:34] Here is evergreen.

[01:14] 这是世界上唯一一座设计在地震活跃区的超高层建筑。
[01:19] 这以前从未做过。
[01:21] 当然不是以这个规模。
[01:24] 结果是一个人造奇迹。
[01:27] 一个前所未有规模、形状和技术的独特巨型结构，旨在抵御大自然最严酷的考验。
[01:37] 就我个人而言，我是一名结构工程师。
[01:39] 如果台北要发生地震，我想在这栋楼里。

[01:45] 而且，台北101不仅仅是在超级结构方面突破了界限。
[01:51] 我们不仅在管理一座建筑或一座城市的城市。
[01:57] 我相信我们正在管理台湾的象征和地标。

[02:40] 摩天大樓是超越功能的建築物。
[02:45] 它們是繁榮和權力的象徵，是財富和工業力量的標誌。
[02:55] 如果你看看摩天大樓的歷史，你真的會從美國開始。

[04:18] 真的没有比建造这些超高建筑更能吸引全球关注的方式了，尤其是当它是世界上最高的建筑时。
[04:25] 最初被指定为日益增长且光鲜亮丽的忠孝东路区（被称为台北的曼哈顿）的中心，该建筑的主要目标是成为最好的，但不一定是最高的。
[04:38] 哈里斯的长期朋友，来自李祖原联合建筑师事务所的王重平建筑师在项目早期阶段加入。
[04:45] 呃，我们开始时有呃呃三栋建筑，中间一栋60层高的建筑，以及两栋较小的建筑，大约20层高，供呃呃不同的呃呃股东使用。
[05:01] 但随着主要投资者纷纷要求将建筑向上推，而不是向外扩展，计划很快就演变了。
[05:08] 原计划的60层很快变成了88层。
[05:12] 而距离成为世界最高建筑仅剩13层楼，

[06:21] 所有这些不同的 u 元素混合物必须近乎完美地融合，才能使建筑成为可能。
[06:25] 可实现的。
[06:27] 该解决方案将结合两个革命性的系统。
[06:32] 首先，一个支撑的巨型框架连接到八根超级柱子上，这些柱子填充了钢和混凝土的混合物。
[06:36] 还有一个调谐质量阻尼器，一个巨大的钟摆，重达 10,000 人，旨在抵消风的影响。
[06:44] 这两种概念的结合是开创性的。
[06:49] 我为此感到非常自豪。
[06:52] 而且，作为建筑师，你很少有机会从事如此规模的工作。
[07:00] 建设将耗时 6 年，任何时候都有 2,000 名工人，以及 700,000 吨有史以来最先进的钢和混凝土。
[07:10] 这些成本超过了某些国家国民生产总值的水平。
