Why build Taipei 101 in a typhoon and earthquake prone zone?
Taipei 101 is designed to withstand the typhoon winds and earthquake tremors common in its area of the Asia-Pacific. Planners aimed for a structure that could withstand gale winds of 60 m/s (197 ft/s, 216 km/h, 134 mph) and the strongest earthquakes likely to occur in a 2,500 year cycle.[

Why do tornadoes cause so much damage?
Winds in tornadoes are extremely fast. Strong tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 120 mph, which can cause major damage to most structures and produce flying debris that can cause damage on impact.The very strongest of tornadoes produce winds in excess of 200 or even 300 mph. Man-made structures cannot withstand such winds.Winds in tornadoes are extremely fast.

Why The foundation of high rise building is strong and wide?
The foundations of high-rise buildings must sometimes support very heavy gravity loads, and they usually consist of concrete piers, piles, or caissons that are sunk into the ground. So to avoid sinking, their foundations are made wide and strong, to decrease the pressure on the ground. The most important factor when in the design of high-rise buildings with wide and strong foundation, because the building's need to withstand the lateral forces imposed by winds and potential earthquakes.
