Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Towers, also known as the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were the highest buildings in the world from 1998 until 2004, if you calculate the height from the main entrance to the last level.
The first thing you need to do once you get in Kuala Lumpur is going to see these two impressive towers of 88 floors and 452 meters high. The entry is based on a pass that is given in order of arrival. As superb as these buildings are, nothing compares with the stunning views that can be admired from the bridge linking the two towers.
Each tower weighs over 300,000 tons because the towers are built of concrete. The Petronas towers hold several world records: the tallest twin towers, the deepest foundation of the world, the highest bridge in the world. For their construction they have spent over a billion dollars.
Behind the Petronas towers there is a beautiful garden , actually a park popular with locals , and tourists ... palm trees, an English lawn , a tranquil lake , benches , fountains ; dancers ; ... all these make this place an oasis in the urban jungle of the city - all-round, tourists can see different tall blocks , hotels and office buildings, but none can be compared to the Petronas towers !
The towers were designed by Cesar Pelli, an argentine -american architect. In his view, the scheme for success was found - twin towers with elegant proportions and sleek appearance.
The 88 floors are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, steel and glass façade, designed to resemble Malaysian motifs of culture and tradition, evoking Islamic architecture. An eight-pointed star made ​​of squares' intersection suggests a reference to the Islamic design, curved arches creating a facade that resembles the temples' towers.Less
