It’s another twist in my adventures from around the world! This time I ventured to the Twin Towers are Kuala Lumpur’s pride and joy.
Constructed from steel, reinforced steel, plus a few thousands more tons of steel, and a tad of concrete, the two towers are an architectural marvel designed by Argentinian Cesar Pelli.
The Towers’ official name is the Petronas Tower, named after the petroleum company that owns most of the tower.
They once stood as the highest towers in the world in 1998 when they were inaugurated.
However, they were soon surpassed in height by the Taipei 101 Tower in 2004. OK, Enough regurgitated facts – you can check out the wiki entry yourself for more information.
Here are the beautiful pics. Unfortunately I couldn’t go backwards far enough to get a full picture but you get the idea…
Now, time for the inside. It’s a large shopping mall with four levels of shops and restaurants. The rest are offices.
Interestingly, because of the shape of the building, it is difficult to rent the space. In fact, the floor space actually becomes progressively smaller and less able to fit offices.
The bottom floors are much more expensive since they have more space, are while being much more expensive to build due to the uniquely shaped, and are comprised of costly steel.
Well, the towers were definitely beautiful buildings, and truly worth seeing!
Hope you enjoyed the pics…
Until next time… more adventures coming soon!
