Petronas Towers






The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas). Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences. The Petronas Twin Towers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world.
The floor plan of the Petronas Twin Towers is based on an eight – pointed star that is an important motif of Islamic art design.
Zipping across Kuala Lumpur, KL Monorail offers an elevated view of the city sights, including the twin towers.
The Twin Towers are shown reflected in the waters of Lake Titiwangsa, a magnificent park with lush greenery.
These three cards were sent to me by My dear friend Caroline from Sabah.
