Taipei 101, cutes
When your fashion sense is so out of this world, you become the mascot for a skyscraper.
Taipei 101 is not just a marvel of modern engineering; it’s also a canvas for quirky and delightful art. Nestled inside this architectural giant is a metallic mascot with a spherical head and minimalist facial features that seem to gaze into the future. The striped torso and sleek black pedestal add to its futuristic charm. Behind this quirky figure stands the massive, golden tuned mass damper, glowing warmly and reminding visitors of the building's ingenious design to withstand nature's fury. It’s a juxtaposition of playful art and serious engineering, a reminder that even in the most advanced structures, there’s room for a bit of whimsy. As I stood there, admiring the sculpture, I couldn't help but think about how art and technology can coexist in harmony, each enhancing the other in unexpected ways.
