Taiwan Tower

 At 2017, a Japanese designed tower will be finished its construction in Taiwan. The tower is 300 metres high and 10,000 square metres vast. Sosuke Fujimoto who is one of an unique architect in the world won a competition with such a creative renovation for human preconceived idea "21st Century Oasis". What the break-through is its shape of the tower. A tower, when you hear the sound, what would you imagine? I guess many surely imagine "La Tour d'Eiffel" like. Because it's a such beautiful structure ever exist as a tower. I love towers and I love "La Tour d'Eiffel" more among any other towers. Taiwan tower is totally different of the images.
 What amazing is that heights. It's just a 300 metres high! Many newly constructed towers are still competing its heights anyway, but the Taiwan Tower is not. This year 2012, Tokyo proudly opens a new tower called "Sky Tree" which has 634 metres high and claims the highest in the world as radio towers. Such a shame. It's not a marvellous construction but is gross. In 21st century, Japan still enjoys this symbol of capitalism. Would you think Japan is a growing country? Absolutely not. Japan should have been mature enough... however it's not yet to be. But fortunately Japan has the people who designs the Taiwan Tower, It's a good consolation.

 Then, when the time the tower stands, I'll go there for walking through under the tower and look up the island.
