Petronas Twin Towers (skyscrapers) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are among the world’s tallest buildings. The Twin Towers were designed Architect Cesar Pelli.
The plan for each tower is identical: an eight-lobed circular structure that contains 88 stories and a pyramid-shaped pinnacle surmounted by steel spire. The exterior sheathing consists of stainless steel and glass.

The towers are depicted through its outline, which resembles the letter "M" for Malaysia. The jagged outline subtly resembles one of Malaysia's famous traditional handicrafts – basket weaving – thus highlighting her strong cultural values.

The triangle that symbolises the skybridge acts like a fulcrum that perfectly balances Malaysia's past and future, local values and global outlook, multi-cultural background and united 1Malaysia concept. With an upward-pointing arrow to depict growth and progress, the triangle also symbolises the Twin Towers' ideal location at the heart of the Kuala Lumpur golden triangle. It is finished in the PETRONAS Green to further emphasise that the PETRONAS Twin Towers is built by our national oil company, PETRONAS.

With an upward-pointing arrow to depict growth and progress, the triangle also symbolises the Twin Towers' ideal location at the heart of the Kuala Lumpur golden triangle.

The sky bridge contract was completed by Kukdong Engineering & Construction. Tower 2 (Samsung C&T) became the first to reach the world's tallest building at the time. However, when the structure reached about 72nd floor, Tower 1 (Hazama Corporation) ran into problems.They discovered the structure was leaning 25 millimetres (0.98 in) off of vertical. To correct the lean, the next 16 floors were slanted back 20 millimetres (0.79 in) .
