a very tall building with a very large round structure

This picture captures the impressive tuned mass damper inside Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest skyscrapers located in Taiwan. The massive golden sphere, a technological marvel of structural engineering, is designed to stabilize the building against the forces of high winds and earthquakes. Suspended within the tower's upper floors, the damper works like a giant pendulum, countering sways and vibrations.
