The double ten symbol in Chinese
Taipei 101
To negate the bad effects of the T-junction, the Taipei city hall designers made the building in the shape of a Double Ten symbol. This symbol would be really significant when it is viewed from the air via satellite or the Taipei 101 observation deck.
The explanation for using the double ten symbol is that since the T-junction is bad luck and Double Ten is good luck therefore the bad luck will be negated by good luck. Get it!
