I did some research and decided to do research on 3 different buildings.
First building I researched on is the Beijing National Stadium where the 2008 Olympics were held. It is located in Beijing, China. The stadium was inspired by Chinese-style pottery as the Chinese fancy irregular patterns but undernearth of the patterns are very clear rules. The stadium was designed in a circular shape as it represents heaven but was described as a bird nest.
The second building I researched on was Taipei 101. Taipei 101 is located at Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. This building has repeated segments which was portrayed in Asian Pagodas which was believed as a tower to link earth and heaven. The building was also inspired by a stalk of bamboos which is an icon of learning and growth. The architect also took inspiration from a stalk of Chinese ingots/money which represents abundance. Taipei 101 has a total of eight floors which represents prosperity and good fortune.
The third tower I researched on is the Petronas Twin Tower. It is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This building is designed based on geometric patterns in architecture or Islamic heritage. It is composed of 2 rotated and superimposed squareswoth small circular infills. This symbol symbolizes unity, harmony, stability and rationality.
