In the 21st century, Taipei needs a more expansive stage for a more brilliant performance. 101 stories above ground and 5 stories below, the 508-meter-tall Taipei Project 101 is an engineering feat that’s expected to bring Taipei to the world.With the grand opening of the office tower, TAIPEI 101 hosted an inauguration ceremony on December 31, 2004 to celebrate the start of a new era. The celebration reached its climax at night when the main tower was lit and fireworks were displayed to welcome the coming of 2005: a new year for Taipei 101 to shine. http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/Corp/company/abouttaipei101. asp"FONGCHI'S EXPERIMENTAL FILM-EPHEMERA " (16mm,12mins.,color,sound,English)Using short elements from our daily live, the director, Fong-Chi Lai, weaves together a poem notable events of our lives.
