Write About The Building- unit 4, no 10 (p.25) - Nadzirah Bte Abd Shukor

The Petronas Twin Tower is located in Kuala Lumpur which is the city of Malaysia. The building designed by Argentine – American architect Cesar Pelli and completed in 1998 and became the tallest building in the world on the date of completion. The 88 floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass façade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a popular shopping mall and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. The tower features a sky bridge between the two tower on 41st and 42nd floors which is the highest 2 story bridge in the world.
