Yes, Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world, incorporates various seismic design features to withstand earthquakes. These features include a tuned mass damper to counteract swaying and reinforced concrete walls. While no building can be completely earthquake-proof, Taipei 101 was designed to minimize damage during seismic events.
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.[

As the name suggests, Taipei 101 consists of 101 stories.
Taipei 101 the world's tallest skyscraper was built by C.Y. Lee & Partners but this structure is primarily built by KTRT Joint Venture and Samsung Engineering and Construction.
Yes, the Taipei 101 does curve a bit, but it also moves along with the direction of the wind due to the gigantic steel ball, called a tuned mass damper, placed near the top of the building.
