Declared as the world's tallest buildings, the PETRONAS Twin Towers are the inspired symbol of Malaysia's new landmark to the world. Built to house the corporate headquarters of PETRONAS, Malaysia's national petroleum corporation, the PETRONAS Twin Towers project and the whole Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) development in general, have been implemented based on a holistic approach, combining business with art, science and nature.
The first phase of the KLCC development involves the establishment of a custom-built symphonic concert hall at the podium between the Twin Towers, an international class art gallery and an interactive petroleum science discovery centre in the adjoining Suria KLCC Mall as well as the construction of the Twin Towers against the backdrop of the landscaped KLCC park.
Soaring 452 metres up into the sky, the PETRONAS Twin Towers mark both in time and space an historic achievement and the national pride of Malaysia -- a testimony of the capabilities and determination of the Malaysian people in bringing to reality a project of such a mammoth scale, an engineering feat unparalleled in the country.
