Architect – Chu-yuan Lee

Next in our list of architects named in Arch Daily’s list of The 25 Tallest Buildings in the World is Chu-yuan Lee. It seems odd to me that so little can be found about Chu-yuan Lee. Lee is a Taiwanese architect. Born in December 1938. He studied at the National Cheng Kung University and Princeton University.

Previously, from this list, we visited with:

• Wilkinson Eyre
• Skidmore Owings Merrill
• Wong Tung & Partners
• East China Architectural Design & Research Institue (ECADA)
• Mulia Group
• Wong Tung & Partners
• Atkins
• Gorproject
• Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill

We’ve skipped over Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) as we’ve previously covered them when we looked at Starchitect William Pedersen of Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF). That being said their contribution to this list is Suzhou IFS. We’ve also visited with Cesar Pelli & Associates whose contribution to this list is The Petrona Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 1998

Lee’s contribution to the list is Taipei 101. Between 2004 and 2010 Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world.
