The Patronas Twin Towers Made By: Rebecca McCord
The Patronas Towers were designed by Cesar Pelli • They were built between 1992-1998 • They became the tallest buildings in the world
They are located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia • There are 88 floors
When making the towers they wanted to make express the culture and heritage of Malaysia.
The towers are connected by a bridge on the 41st floor. It creates a gateway to the city.
There are features such as a curtain wall of glass and stainless steel sun shades to block out some of the light.
UNUSUAL!!! • What's unusual about the towers is that they each had different construction company. • Tower 2 was also finished before Tower 1 was because they found that Tower 1 leaned 25 mm on the ground with its own weight.
The Patronas Towers • I would love to visit this site because I think it would be an eye opening experience. It would also show me the heritage and culture of Malyasia.
