To be honest, the only reason I didn't mention the architects or it's design is because it's not interesting (in my opinion). The only interesting thing about the Taipei 101 is that it's now the tallest building in the world. Oh, and spiderman climbed it... that's interesting too ;)
Yes it is open, and who are the occupants of this ego icon? Is it necessary to build the tallest structure in the world in one of the smallest countries in the world? My guess it will be 50% empty and become the largest void ever constructed in the world too. Feeling better about who we are is for architects of buildings one would be proud of...not those created to be "empty inside like bamboo".
