my personal opinion, I think this tower is the most popular building in malaysia. It was an achievement and prestige of malaysia. I proud to be malaysian people. the structure of this tower are so unique, tallest and stable. The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 1o1, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas), took over the record. Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences. The Petronas Twin Towers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. Between of this tower it has a bridge that connected to both of this tower. It is called skybridge. The towers feature a skybridge (constructed by Kukdong Engineering & Construction) between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. The bridge is 170m above the ground and 58 m long, weighing 750 tons.The skybridge also acts as a safety device, so that in the event of a fire or other emergency in one tower, tenants can evacuate by crossing the skyway to the other tower. This show the developer are good and make sure to safety first. For the service, The service building is to the east of the Petronas Towers and contains the services required to keep the building operational, such as dissipating the heat from the air-conditioning system for all 88 levels in both towers.
