Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers were a pair of tallest skyscrapers in the world between 1994 and 2003. They were also the tallest buildings at the end of the 20th century, with each having a height of 451.9 meters. Nevertheless, they were rivaled by other skyscrapers, including the Burj Khalifa and Taipei 101. The Petronas Twin Towers were surpassed by the Taipei 101 Building on October 17, 2003. The Petronas Twin Towers were designed by Argentine architect César Pelli, who also designed the World Financial Center in New York and Canary Wharf in London. The 88 -storey building was constructed using reinforced concrete with a steel and glass facade on the outside, and features Islamic art motifs. The land he occupied was formerly the Selangor Horse Racing Club. Due to the depth of the bedrock on which the building was built, the Petronas Twin Towers were built on the deepest foundation in the world, which is at a depth of 120 meters. #awesomepic #staycation #情侣出游
