Petronas Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, The 88-floor towers are constructed of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion



The front entrance and ceiling details.

The towers feature a skybridge between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. It is not attached to the main structure, but is instead designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent it from breaking during high winds.
