Petronas Twin Tower
Designed by Argentine-American architect César Pelli, the Petronas Towers were completed in 1998 and became the tallest buildings in the world on the date of completion. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass façade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur's race track. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world's deepest foundations. The 120-meter foundations were built by Bachy Soletanche, and required massive amounts of concrete.
In an unusual move, a different construction company was hired for each of the towers. According to both a National Geographic documentary and a Korean newspaper, Tower 2 was successfully completed by Samsung Constructions, Kukdong Engineering & Construction (both of South Korea). However, the builders of Tower 1, Hazama Corporation (Japan), ran into problems when they discovered the structure was 25 millimeters off from vertical[6] [7]. The shopping mall beneath both towers was constructed by Birmingham, Alabama-based Bill Harbert International.
Due to a lack of steel and the huge cost of importing steel, the towers were constructed on a cheaper radical design of super high-strength reinforced concrete. High-strength concrete is a material familiar to Asian contractors and twice as effective as steel in sway reduction; however, it makes the building twice as heavy on its foundation than a comparable steel building. Supported by 23-by-23 meter concrete cores and an outer ring of widely-spaced super columns, the towers use a sophisticated structural system that accommodates its slender profile and provides from 1300 to 2000 square metres of column-free office space per floor.
Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a popular shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.
Petronas, Malaysia's national oil company, set out to build the world's tallest building. Although other buildings such as the Sears Tower have higher occupied floors, a higher antenna, and a higher roof, the Petronas Twin Towers' spires are classified as architectural details and rise to 452 m (1483 feet), giving it the greatest structural height until Taipei 101. Taking advantage of the rules governing building measurements (counting spires but not antennas) has generated controversy over the towers' claim to the title. However, the tradition of including the spire on top of a building and not including the antenna dates back to the rivalry between the Chrysler Building and the 40 Wall Street.
Other buildings have used spires to increase their height but have always been taller overall to the pinnacle when trying to claim the title. In the aftermath of the controversy, the rules governing official titles were partially overhauled, and a number of buildings re-classified structural antenna as architectural details to boost their height rating (even though nothing was actually done to the building).

my dream Houses..
Everyone has a house to live from the danger, hot or rain. Same as me.When I was a child, I dreamed of a house shaped like a doughnut. Rooms would be arranged in a ring around a central courtyard, and the courtyard would have a glass roof, a steamy climate, and exotic tropical birds. All windows in this house would look inward at the courtyard. No windows would look outward at the exterior world. This was an introverted, perhaps egotistical, house. Besides that, I would like a big garden and a lot of flowers
On day I hope I will build my dreams house in the future. For now I have my own terrace when the price increase I will sell the terrace and buy a land and build my dreams house in Selangor my home town

I choose because the Petronas Twin Tower were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas), took over the record. Besides that, it has a resemble motifs found in islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion religion. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur's race track. Below the twin towers also has Suria KLCC which it is a popular shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

empire state building in new york
Empire state building in New York
I choose the empire state building in New York because it is a nice place to visit. It is the higher building and from the top, we can see the city surrounding of New York. At the higher place, it a bit colder and we can took a photograph.
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972.[citation needed] Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York City.
The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its street floor interior are designated landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and confirmed by the New York City Board of Estimate.[6] It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.[4][7][8] In 2007, it was ranked number one on the List of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA. The building is owned and managed by W&H Properties.
History of the building
The present site of the Empire State Building was first developed as the John Thomson Farm in the late 18th century. At the time, a stream ran across the site, emptying into Sunfish Pond, located a block away. The block was occupied by the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in the late 19th century, and was frequented by The Four Hundred, the social elite of New York.
[edit] Design and Construction
The Empire State Building was designed by Gregory Johnson and his architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, which produced the building drawings in just two weeks, using its earlier design for the Carew Tower in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a basis.[10] The building was actually designed from the top down.[11] The general contractors were Starrett Brothers and Eken, and the project was financed by John J. Raskob. The construction company was chaired by Alfred E. Smith, a former Governor of New York.[2]
Excavation of the site began on January 22, 1930, and construction on the building itself started symbolically on March 17—St.Patrick's Day—per Al Smith's influence as Empire State, Inc. president. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe, along with hundreds of Mohawk iron workers, mainly from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal. According to official accounts, five workers died during the construction.[12] Governor Smith's grandchildren cut the ribbon on May 1, 1931.
The construction was part of an intense competition in New York for the title of the world's tallest building. Two other projects fighting for the title, 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building, were still under construction when work began on the Empire State Building. Each would hold the title for less than a year, as the Empire State Building would surpass them upon its completion, just 410 days after construction commenced. The building was officially opened on May 1, 1931 in dramatic fashion, when United States President Herbert Hoover turned on the building's lights with the push of a button from Washington, D.C. Ironically, the first use of tower lights atop the Empire State Building, the following year, was for the purpose of signalling the victory of Franklin D. Roosevelt over Hoover in the presidential election of November 1932
Architectural
The Empire State Building rises to 1,250 feet (381.0 m) at the 102nd floor, and including the 203-foot (62 m) pinnacle, its full height reaches 1453 feet and 8 9/16th inches (443 m). The building has 85 stories of commercial and office space (2,158,000 sq ft/200,000 m) and an indoor and outdoor observation deck on the 86th floor. The remaining 16 stories represent the Art Deco tower, which is capped by a 102nd-floor observatory. Atop the tower is the 203-foot (62 m) pinnacle, much of which is covered by broadcast antennas, with a lightning rod at the very top.
The Empire State Building was the first building to have more than 100 floors. It has 6,500 windows and 73 elevators, and there are 1,860 steps from street level to the 102nd floor. It has a total floor area of approximately 2,768,591 square feet (257,000 m²); the base of the Empire State Building is about 2 acres (0.8 ha). The building houses 1,000 businesses, and has its own zip code, 10118. As of 2007, approximately 21,000 employees work in the building each day, making the Empire State Building the second-largest single office complex in America, after the Pentagon. The building was completed in one year and 45 days. Its original 64 elevators are located in a central core; today, the Empire State Building has 73 elevators in all, including service elevators. It takes less than one minute by elevator to get to the 86th floor, where an observation deck is located. The building has 70 miles (113 km) of pipe and 2,500,000 feet (760,000 m) of electrical wire.[23] It is heated by low-pressure steam; despite its height, the building only requires between two and three pounds per square inch (0.14 to 0.21 kg. per cm²) of steam pressure for heating. It weighs approximately 370,000 short tons (336,000 M/T).The Empire State Building cost $40,948,900 to build.
A series of setbacks causes the building to taper with height.
Unlike most of today's high-rise buildings, the Empire State Building features a classic façade. The modernistic stainless steel canopies of the entrances on 33rd and 34th Streets lead to two story-high corridors around the elevator core, crossed by stainless steel and glass-enclosed bridges at the second-floor level. The elevator core contains 67 elevators.[6]
The lobby is three stories high and features an aluminum relief of the skyscraper without the antenna, which was not added to the spire until 1952. The north corridor contains eight illuminated panels, created by Roy Sparkia and Renée Nemorov in 1963, depicting the building as the Eighth Wonder of the World, alongside the traditional seven.
Long-term forecasting of the life cycle of the structure was implemented at the design phase to ensure that the building's future intended uses were not restricted by the requirements of previous generations. This is particularly evident in the over-design of the building's electrical system

my dream house
My dream home
All of people have a dream about their house, included me. I always think about my dream home when I was child hood. Now, I try to get my dream home.
Actually, my dream home no need too big or exclusives. But it is comfortable and for my family and I to stay.
For example, I like semi detached home. It has a place surround house and I can make a small garden to relax with my family. I want to put table and chair outside house. So, at the evening, I can relax while I drink fresh orange.
And the back of the house, I can plant chilies, lemon grass, curry leaf and so on. So, when I want to cook, I just pluck whatever I want.I also want to make a small pond to take care of my fish. On the top of the pond, I can put ‘kiambang flower’. At the side I want to put place of my bunny.
In my house, I like the modern style. Simple and organize. I can also put big mirror at dining room. It is also good for ‘Feng shui’.I don’t like open kitchen because sometimes we make a kitchen a bit messy when cooking.
That’s all bout my dream house. I hope my dream come true.

The Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque- Istanbul
The Blue Mosque is one of the most prominent landmarks of Istanbul, especially when viewed from the First Hill or from the Asian shore of the Sea of Marmara. The located in of the mosque is just opposite of the splendid Church of Hagia.
The Blue Mosque was founded by Sultan Ahmet I. He ordered Architect Mehmed Aga to begin constuction in 1609 and the whole complex was completed in 1616. The style of the building splendid by the perfect proportion of domes and semidomes as well as the splendid minarets. The mosque has 260 windows which let the sunlight diffuse into the building quite nicely. They were filled with stained-glass in early 17C but they were restored later. The pulpit and nave is worth seeing, made of marble and originals. When visiting the Blue Mosque, one should remember the prayer times, five times a day. First one in the very early in morning, second at noon time, third in afternon, fourth in evening and last fifth before going to bed. The mosque is closed at prayer times for 1-1.5 hours. One should prefer to visit the mosque in the morning or before 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon because the prayer times rotate according to the sun's positions
Why I choose the the Blue Mosque in Istanbul ?
I choose The Blue Mosque because the mosque indicates to Islamic place. It looks honor and the old building is very beautiful in the world. When I looked the mosque I also thought about the history of the important persons of Islam.
My Dream House
I dream to have a simple house, it is not too big, and it is two-story house. There are a kitchen and a living room in the first floor. In second floor, there are two bedrooms and a praying room. I dream to build it in my village because I need to live together with my family and relatives. Around the house have the flower garden and behind the house have the tropical fruits. I want to live far from the people’s house because I do not like the crowd. I hope my dream become true………hi3. hi3. hi3… Insyaallah.

The style of the building splendid by the perfect proportion of domes and semidomes as well as the splendid minarets. The mosque has 260 windows which let the sunlight diffuse into the building quite nicely. They were filled with stained-glass in early 17C but they were restored later. The pulpit and nave is worth seeing, made of marble and originals. When visiting the Blue Mosque, one should remember the prayer times, five times a day. First one in the very early in morning, second at noon time, third in afternon, fourth in evening and last fifth before going to bed. The mosque is closed at prayer times for 1-1.5 hours. One should prefer to visit the mosque in the morning or before 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon because the prayer times rotate according to the sun's positions
Why I choose the the Blue Mosque in Istanbul ?
I choose The Blue Mosque because the mosque indicates to Islamic place. It looks honor and the old building is very beautiful in the world. When I looked the mosque I also thought about the history of the important persons of Islam.
My Dream House
I dream to have a simple house, it is not too big, and it is two-story house. There are a kitchen and a living room in the first floor. In second floor, there are two bedrooms and a praying room. I dream to build it in my village because I need to live together with my family and relatives. Around the house have the flower garden and behind the house have the tropical fruits. I want to live far from the people’s house because I do not like the crowd. I hope my dream become true………hi3. hi3. hi3… Insyaallah.
my dream house
When I was a kid, I always dream of a house made of wood and bricks. In front of my house, there is a small garden. This small garden has variety colours of flowers. It's a very beautiful garden.
Every evening, i will playing hide and seek with my brothers dan sisters around the garden. There is a garage near my house and a small lake beside the garage.
Inside my house, must have five bedrooms (actually for my parents, my siblings and i), dining rooms, restrooms and a big kitchen. so..i can walk and play around my house withaut any restriction from anyone.
But now, when I grow up and matured enough to know the real thing about life, I have change my view, what I want for my future is the simple life. The life that I can give something to Islam, insyaAllah..
In my future house must have a library rooms with many of books and kitab that I can read and tarbiyah my family such as Islam need..amin..

Burj Dubai
The Burj Dubai is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Construction began on September, 2004, and it is expected to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2009. The tower's architect is Adrian Smith who worked with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) until 2006. SOM is architecture and engineering firm in charge of the project. The total budget for the Burj Dubai project is about USD 4.1 billion and for the entire new 'Downtown Dubai', USD 20 billion. As of 12 May 2008, Burj Dubai has reached a height of 636 m. The design of Burj Dubai is ostensibly derived from the patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, with tripled-lobed footprints of the building based on abstracted version of the desert flower hymenocallis native to the region. The tower is composed of the three elements arranged around a central core. As the tower rises from the flat desert base, setbacks occur at each element in an upward spiraling pattern, decreasing the cross section of the tower as it reaches towards the sky. At the top, the central core emerges and its sculpted to form a finishing spire. A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of the Persian Gulf. Viewed from above or front the base, the form also evokes the onion domes of Islamic architecture. During the design process, engineers rotated the building 120 degrees from its original layout to reduce stress from prevailing winds.The tower, at its tallest point, sways a total of 3.35 meters (9.35ft), with more than 160 completed floors. The picture of Burj Dubai is here.

My dream house is a simple and comfortable for my family. I don't want a big house like a celebrity, politician and businessman because or me house is a place that to take a rest.Most important thing is the house is near to the mosque, school and hospital. Because this is simple facilities and people use it almost everyday. The style is modern and mix traditional because i want to continue Malay house heritage. The house has 4 bedrooms, 1 prayer room, 3 bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen. On the compound of my house, it has a small garden and pond. So that i can refresh my mind after work a day. I hope my dream will come true. One day for sure...
