Futuristic tower wins design contest - Futuristic Taiwan Tower to borrow design from a tree, will harness renewable energy. The one-of-a-kind building will harness renewable energy and create a green island high above the city. Tokyo-based Sou Fujimoto Architects drew inspiration from the banyan tree (known for having a lattice of roots that give it a sturdy base) to create "21st Century Oasis" — a concept that was recently pronounced winner of the Taiwan Tower International Competition. It may not be a candidate to become the world's tallest, thinnest, or wackiest building, but once it's built in the city of Taichung, its one-of-a-kind design and eco-friendly features will surely propel it to global popularity.

In fact, that Sunday morning 70 years ago is so seared into America's memory that the tumult of the weeks and months afterward, as the U.S. responded to the attack, is often overlooked. On the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, LIFE.com presents rare and unpublished photos from Hawaii and the mainland, chronicling a nation's answer to an unprecedented act of war.
