With the scale of 101, it’s easy to miss some of the detail. The design was inspired by bamboo with each segment growing up from within the lower one. The less charitable suggest its more like a pile of take out boxes.

If you look closer though, there are some more intricate details. On previous photos you’ll have noticed the retail area at the bottom which makes the tower asymmetrical, but the segments themselves are adorned with little twists of traditional design.
