The Petronas Towers are an iconic landmark in Malaysia's capital city Kuala Lumpur. Standing at 170 meters above ground, the Petronas Towers are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The buildings, which held the titled of tallest in the world between 1998-2004, are an iconic landmark of the capital city. The distinctive postmodern style was created by architects Cesar Pelli and Achmad Murdijat, engineer Deejay Cerico and designer Dominic Saibo under the consultancy of JC Guinto. The technical elements are line, repetition, and scale. The twin buildings are made of steel and greatly tower over the surrounding buildings. I am impressed by the large scale of the buildings and the way that they seem to touch the sky line. They portray a feeling of dominance but surely that was the message that the engineers wanted to convey with it being in the capital city.

This reminds me of the movie Entrapment. Also I love the lines of the building and how the tower gives that illusion especially from this angle the picture was taken.
