The tower rises 350 meters high at a 2 degree inclination. This slight obliquity allows the metal leaves’ polished surfaces to reflect Taichung to itself. Approaching visitors seize in these reflections their city at different scales and from contrasting viewpoints. At night, the tower turns into a 2 million pixel LED vertical screen with infinite possibilities to provide dynamic digital visuals. An isostatic tripod emerges from within the reservoir comprising of a lobby, an office block and a singular mirrored shape. The tower floats above ground fitted on top of the tripod.

The Museum of the Taichung City Development is suspended under the tripod and exhibits a model of the Taichung metropolis composed of key historical urban fragments, architectural landmarks and views ofthe city-scape. It hosts group and individual educational programs about the city, its achievements and digital projections on the sky scrapping screen. The achieved technology acts not only as a monumental object but functions as an instrument to promote cultural ventures and moreover democracy.
