Petronas Twin Tower KLCC

KLCC TWIN TOWER

" The Petronas Twin Towers was designed to symbolise strength and grace using geometric principles typified in Islamic architecture." 

The 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers was designed by Cesar Pelli and Associates and currently houses Petronas Corporate Headquarters. It is currently the 2nd most tallest building in the world after Taipei 101 in Taiwan. The Twin Towers symbolises strength and grace using geometric principles typified in Islamic architecture. It is located at the former Selangor Turf Club, a 100-acre site in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle.

Rising to 1,483 ft (451.9 m) like sentinels in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, this building cost a whopping US$1.2 billion. Completed in 1997, the Twin Towers are a striking glass-and-steel combination with floor plans based on an eight-pointed star.

The towers are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 192 ft-long (58.4 m) double-decker skybridge - linking the two sky lobbies and facilitating the movement between the two towers.
