TO MATCH FEATURE STORY TAIWAN-SKYSCRAPER

A new landmark, the Taipei 101, towers over its neighbours in Taipei on September 18, 2003. The 508-metre (1,667-feet) skyscraper is expected to replace Malaysia's Petronas Towers as the world's tallest building in early October, when a 60-metre spire is added. Architects for the 101-storey building say earthquakes and typhoons make Taipei one of the most difficult environments in the world to build a skyscraper.
