ethiopian09 this is not a shit technique the reason why the burj dubai doesn't require one of these is because dubai is an area of low siesmic activity and therfore only requires to be able to withstand wind. The Taipei 101 has to cope with both high winds and earthquakes so this is the perfect engineering to keep it upright and being able to be resistant to earthquake effects especially those induced by Love & Rayleigh Waves.
