Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world and  among the world's most impressive skyscrapers,. Architect Cesar Pelli chose a postmodern design while evoking Islamic motifs in its glass facade to create a 21st century icon for Kuala Lumpur. At 558 feet, the double-decker skybridge that links the towers on the 41st and 42nd floors is the highest two-storey bridge in the World. A project this big would usually require eight years, but the Malaysian budget accounted only for six. In order to meet the strict deadline, two construction consortiums were hired, one for each tower, racing each other to the top.
