Petronas Towers
Opened in 1998, the Petronas Towers reach up nearly 452m; for six years they were the
tallest structure in the world and they remain the world's tallest twin towers. The design
for the 88-storeys-high tower blocks, by Argentinian architect Cesar Pelli, is based on an
eight-sided star that echoes arabesque patterns. Islamic influences are also evident in each
tower's five tiers - representing the five pillars of Islam - and in the 63m masts that
crown them, calling to mind the minarets of a mosque and the Star of Islam.
