Kuala Lampur, the second largest metropolitan city in Malaysia, has several tall buildings in its skyline. Yet none can match the sheer grandeur and the size of the Petronas Towers, the largest twin-tower buildings in the world.
Standing a monumental 452 metres tall, containing 88 floors and with a gigantic floor area of 395,000 square metres, the Petronas Towers dominate the city’s skyline. Considered to be the pride of Kuala Lampur, these towers with their remarkable design makes it one of the world’s most impressive structures.
The Petronas Towers were designed by architect César Pelli, along with the consultation of Deejay Cerico, J. C. Guinto, and Dominic Saibo, who inculcated Muslim art and symbols into the towers’ design. Hence the cross section of the towers was based on the Rub El Hizb, a symbol which is significant in Muslim culture, thereby giving them a uniquely remarkable look. The construction of the Petronas Towers commenced in 1992, and after 6 gruelling years, was declared open on the 28th of August 1999. One of its most unique features is the Sky Bridge which connects the two towers. Built between the 41st floors, the bridge lets occupants cross from one tower to the other while being suspended 170 metres in the air!
The Sky Bridge is one of the most exhilarating experiences here, as it is fitted with glass windows providing an outstanding view of the city. The towers are also equipped with steel and glass sunshades, which deflect the heat from the equatorial sun, and an express elevator system with a Sky Lobby on the 41st floor of each of the towering structures. The Petronas Towers are considered to represent the identity of Kuala Lampur, and visiting this architectural marvel is definitely worth the experience.
