TO MATCH FEATURE TAIWAN-SKYSCRAPER

Cars speed past the towering Taipei 101 building in a well-heeled district 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. Picture taken September 18, 2003.
