My Dream House KOT……gempak
Actually I don’t have a dream house, but I like the Traditional House however the world prefer to have modern building. For me, the traditional home is very beautiful and I like the design very much. The traditional home is a symbol of culture Malaysian and the design very creative. And one thing very important in my life, I like the surrounding in village and the environment. In the future I must have a house although it isn’t the traditional house….that all…

Blue Mosque-Istanbul

The mosque was built by the architect Sedefkar Mehmed Ağa for Sultan Ahmed I. The construction of the magnificent complex lasted for quite a time, with the mosque being completed in 1617 and the rest of the construction in 1619. One of the largest of İstanbul's structures, the complex includes a mosque, medresses, the sultan's chamber, shops of tradesmen, a hamam, a public fountain with a spout, a mausoleum, a hospital, a soup kitchen and a primary school.

The mosque is located in the centre of the complex and referred to by foreigners as "The Blue Mosque" on account of the roughly 20,000 blue glazed tiles which cover its exterior. The main dome of the mosque is 34 meters in diameter, rises to a height of 43 meters above ground level and rests upon four massive pillars five metres in diameter. Four half domes also support the main dome. The mosque is five stories high from ground level to the top of the dome and is illuminated by 260 stained-glass windows.

The marble 'mimber', or pulpit, features mother-of-pearl relief; striking chandeliers hang from the dome. In the north west cormer of the complex is a mousoleum. A medresse is located near the tomb and functions as an archive today. A primary school is attached to the wall of the inner courtyard of the mosque. There is a fountain and shops on the ground floor of the school and classrooms on the top floor. The last structure on the kiblah side is an 'arasta' - a row of shops of the same trade.

My Dream House

My dream house is simple, abstemious, tidy, interesting and look nice. I don't want a big house but deserted. I want my house have a special room for pray and another special room to be a small library. My sitting room must broad and have a flowers. I want too my house have a big kitchen because i like cooking.

The A'Famosa

Since im from Melaka so my famous building would be the A'Famosa fort. The A'Famosa was a large structure in its heydays, but all you now see is the remains of the original Portuguese fort. Built in the year 1512, the fort was known as Porta de Santiago. For the past five centuries, the fort has survived much hardship. The fort was built by Alfonso de Albuquerque and his fleet of Portuguese men. In order to safeguard their territory after having defeated the locals, he built the fortress near the sea. A mighty fortress of four main towers and bulwarks, each tower had a purpose of its own. Two were used as residences for the captain and their officers while the last two is for ammunition and a keep respectively. After the Portuguese lost their stronghold to the Dutch, the fort was slightly modified with the inclusion of a logo "ANNO 1670" over the arch of a gate. The destruction of this grand fortress came about during the British colonial times, which took place in the year 1806. Almost the entire fortress was demolished except for the part that you now see, which luckily, was saved by Sir Stamford Raffles who is passionate about history.
Im so proud of it because the fort makes Melaka well known all over the world. My former secondary school also using the fort picture as their school badge.

dream house

i also have my dream house, but i dont think i can afford to have such a house. i dream to have a house that built from crystal and gems. people who has a bad intention will not be able to enter my house, automatically. the house also have enough room for everybody regardless of the number came in to my house. bottom line my dream house is just like the prophet of sulaiman's palace.

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 bedrocks, 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.

The Blue Mosque - Istanbul

In The Name Of Allah
THE BLUE MOSQUE-ISTANBUL

The Blue Mosque is located in Istanbul, Turkey. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is a historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is on of several mosques known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It was built between 1609 and 1616. The design is the culmination of the two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It is large and beautiful building. It is made of stone and marble. It has six minarets, the same number as at the mosque of the Ka'aba in Mecca. The most important element in the interior is the mihrab, which is made of finely carved and sculptured marble, with a stalactite niche and a double inscription panel above it.

Why I choose this building...

I think all of you have a dream house, we know, we must have the comfortable house for live. But the comfortable house is not enough for many of you because we want a big house and luxury. However I want to tell about my dream house.

Why I choose Petronas Twin Tower

In my opinion, I choose the Petronas Twin Tower because this building is a tallest in the world and very beutiful. Design of this building also stategic and hardest. When at night, the viewing of this building is very beutiful with the lighting around the building.

Every day have a lot of tourist come to tour on this building. Tourist also can shopping at Suria KLCC, Suria KLCC is a one of the biggest shopping malls in Malaysia. At there also have a petroscience, we can see a lot of about science in there. At out side of the building have a beutiful park. This park or garden the people can jogging and walking, a fountain with incorporated light show, wading pools, and a children's playground. The children also can play the water at the swimming pools at the garden.

At the building also have skybriedge 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 is open to all visitors, but free passes are limited to 1700 people per day so we must be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a advantage for us because we no need to pay the money and we can see a beautiful view up there.

When we shopping at there, not only we can buy the clothes, shose and so on. We also can eat some delicious food at there. It because, at there have many food can we eat like Thai food, Japanese food and so on. So we no need to worried about hungry when we go shopping at there.

I think I like this building so much not only because have some delicious food or can shopping at there, it is also because successfully of Malaysia in scope of the devolopment and can give another country know about smaller country like Malaysia.

famous building and my dream house

Petronas Tower - Kuala Lumpur

The building that I have selected was Petronas Twin Tower at Kuala Lumpur. The building is one of the most impressive pieces of architecture in the world is the magnificent 452 metres high Petronas Twin Tower, that are linked by a walk-bridge at 41^st floor. As the world’s second tallest building, 88 floors, the Twin Towers has an Islamic influence that gives both a futuristic and historical feeling. Some people men that the towers in a way is post modern version inspired by another architectural masterpiece, Gaudi’s cathedral Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

The Twin Towers are the most prominent address in the Golden Triangle Area, which is the business district in down town Kuala Lumpur. Here you find Petronas Oil Company, Microsoft Malaysia and many regional corporate headquarters. But it is also a cultural hub with the symphony orchestra Dewan Philharmonik Petronas and the leading fine art gallery in Malaysia, Galeri Petronas.

On several beneath the towers, you will also find a first class, large shopping complex, with Japan’s leading department store Isetan among others stores. The Petronas Twin Towers is a great tourist attraction but the tickets to enter the walk-bridge on the 41 st floor are distributed every day on a limited basis, so I recommend you to go there early in the morning.

Why I choose the building?

I choose the building because I like this building. As many we can see, Petronas Twin Towers have many interesting places that we can go. For example, it has many places that we can call as the precint for dining, art and cultural, entertainment and edutainment, business, shopping, health and recreation, healthcare, hotels, mosque, car park, gas station, post office, money changer, conference and exhibition guide and banks. So, what ever we want at the Petronas Twin Towers we can get it. One thing that I like about the building, we can see a beautiful view of Kuala Lumpur City at night.

My dream house

I have my own dream house. I want the house that have seen like in the village or we can call as a ‘kampung house’. So, it must located out of city but not so inner. The house must have a big space like a garden. It is made from wood so that I can feel the wind from the outside. The house must have three or four bedrooms and each rooms have a bathrooms. Then near at my house have a river that I can feel the fresh air and clean water. I also can go fishing…hehe. That’s all, just a simple house.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza , also called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt in Africa, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Visibly all that remains is the underlying step-pyramid core structure seen today. Many of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base of the Great Pyramid. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.

There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished. A passage from the Grand Gallery leads to the Queen's Chamber, while an antechamber leads from the Grand Gallery to the King's Chamber. Despite precautions such as covering the entrance hole with casing and the portcullises, even before the Old Kingdom ended thieves simply bypassed all the barriers, digging through the soft limestone and breaking a corner of Khufu's red granite sarophagus while removing the lid.This sarcophagus of the King's Chamber was hollowed out of a single piece of Red Aswan granite and has been found to be too large to fit through the passageway leading to the chamber. Both the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber contains small shafts that ascend out of the pyramid. Egyptologists now conclude they were instead used for ceremonial purposes. The Great Pyramid is the only pyramid known to contain both ascending and descending passages. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the main part of a complex setting of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honor of Khufu (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.

Why I choose this building, it is because this pyramid is biggest and tallest in three pyramid at Cairo, Egypt. All of you know pyramid is seven wonders of the ancient world, but many of you don't know, only pyramid of Giza is seven wonders of the ancient world and another two pyramids are not.

Also I choose this building because this building not to built for live person but its built for dead mans, its specially for pharaoh and their queens. The pyramid until now still the mystery for its' construction because there have been varying scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place. The disagreements center on the method by which the stones were conveyed and placed. A recent theory proposes that the building blocks were manufactured in-place from a kind of "limestone concrete". In addition to the many theories as to the techniques involved, there are also disagreements as to the kind of workforce that was used. One theory, suggested by the Greeks, posits that slaves were forced to work until the pyramid was done. This theory is no longer accepted in the modern era, however. Archaeologists believe that the Great Pyramid was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of paying taxes until the construction was completed. The worker's cemeteries were discovered in 1990 by archaeologists Zahi Hawass and Mark Lehner. Verner posited that the labor was organized into a hierarchy, consisting of two gangs of 100,000 men, divided into five zaa or phyle of 20,000 men each, which may have been further divided according to the skills of the workers.

At my living, have a television, radio and magazine. The other room, I can make a library to make sure my family love to read. I hope my dream will come true.

What's so blue about the Blue Mosque?

Istanbul's imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see.

Forget the blue tiles! The mosque (built 1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architect Sedefkâr Mehmet Aga. It's built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome.

The Blue mosque is called "Sultan Ahmet Camii" in Turkish, which means the Mosque of Sultan Ahmet. The mosque was built in the classic Ottoman style and is located just in front of Saint Sophias' Church the Sultan Ahmet district of Istanbul. Mosques were generally built to be used as a public service for the citizens.

With its six minarets and a great cascade of domes, the mosque is a worthy sibling to Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) just a few minutes' stroll to the north.

But it's also a working mosque, so it's closed to non-worshippers for a half hour or so during the five daily prayers, and may be closed for a longer time midday on Friday, the Muslim holy day.
The way to properly appreciate the splendid architecture of the Blue Mosque is to enter it from the Hippodrome (that is, from the west) so we can appreciate the Magic of the Blue Mosque.

There are some buildings near the Blue mosque which include a theology school, a Turkish bath, a kitchen that used to serve soup for the poor, and shops. The shops would provide revenue for maintaining the mosque.

Why I choose this famous building because it is very impressive with its beautiful domes and semidomes, nice courtyards and six slender minarets. The mosque covers a large area, there's a big courtyard where some ablution fountains are located. These ablution fountains are for people who are getting prepared to pray in the mosque.

Then, it is because Sultan Ahmed masjid was built by Ahmed 1, a Sultan from Ottoman Empire. The masjid is also known as 'The Blue Masjid' because of the blue tiles used for its construction on the inner side of the masjid.

Located in Istanbul, the capital and largest city of Turkey, The Blue Masjid is one of the seven world wonders. The Masjid represents another master piece of Islamic art and architecture.
The Masjid represents another master piece of Islamic art and architecture.

Burj Al-Arab in Dubai

Burj Al-Arab in Dubai

The Burj Al-Arab is situated in the Jumeirah Beach area of Dubai in United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located in 15 km from the main city centre and 25 km from Dubai International Airport.

The architect and designer of the Burj Al-Arab was Tom Wright. He was the Design Director that the person who the first drawing of the Burj Al-Arab concept in October 1993. It was built on 21^st September 2004 on its own artificial island and completed on site in 1999.

The architect was designed and created the building that would become a symbol and also an icon for Dubai, a building that would become synonymous with the place. As Sydney has its ‘Opera House’ and Paris the ‘Eiffel Tower’, so Dubai was to have the ‘Burj Al-Arab’.

The style of the building is modern was built on the shape of modern yacht sail to reflect Dubai’s seafaring heritage combined with a modern aspect moving forward into the future, to a global one. The Burj is becoming a world resort location, so the building had to say holiday, fun and sophistication all things related with yachting.

‘The Burj Al-Arab Hotel’ is very famous as the world’s tallest hotel and the world’s only ‘7 Star’ class hotel. This ‘Arabian Tower’ hotel is the tallest hotel building in the world and become a symbol of the uniqueness of the city of Dubai. The Burj is 321 metres high and also the tallest stand-alone hotel in the world. From the top floor is the ‘Skyview Bar’, with sunset views over the sea.

The hotel was built on sand, which is unusual and different as most tall building was built and founded on rock. The amazing facts that the trusses on the side of the Arabian Tower are as long as a football field and weight as much as 20 double-decker busses.

There is something interesting that ‘if one man was to build the building, it would take about 8,000 years to finish’.

My Own Reason

I have already seen many kind of pictures of structure, building and tower around the world. All of them are very very unique and famous. Among the structures, there is my favourite famous building. It is the Burj Al-Arab which located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). There are a few reasons why I have chosen this unique and unusual building.

The main reason is because I had already went to Dubai and visited some places of the city. The most interesting places that attracted me, of course the Burj Al-Arab. I can’t go near the building but only stand outside the building to take my photograph. I had some of pictures of that. The real view of Burj was over the shining blue sea that I saw. It was the value greatly moments that I will never forget. It so so engrossed.

The second reason is the Burj and other structures was shown our accomplishment and successful of Islamic country to the entire world. The third reason is about it shape and design. It shape is very unique and it is totally an unusual designing. It looks like a giant sail or boat which sailing over the sea. The fourth is, the Burj is the only ‘7 Star’ class hotel in the world. It shows that the hotel is full of luxuriousness and prosperous.

Although, this hotel is only suitable for millionaires and billionaires to stay but we those not staying in the hotel have the chances to get in there just to walk around and visits some parts of the building. But, you must pay an entrance fee around US$50. It is not bad for people like us to experience the moment.

I wish that I will go back to Dubai and walk around the building. So that, I should begin my saving from now. I know I have to work hard to achieve my dream.

My Dream Home

Everyone of us has a dream house. It is what we would like to do and to live in the future. I always dreamed of having my own house. My admire house should be the wonderful house, greenery, ‘live’, and multi-purpose place.

When I read any paper or magazine, or I surved to the certain website, I will never miss to review or survey the part of decoration and designing of houses and also clothes. I enjoyed the pictures, images, drawing, painting and so on. I said to myself, “I want my house look like ‘this’, and probably it should be more creative and more wonderful than that”.

First of all, the location of my dream house is very important factor. I plan to stay in the house for a considerable length of time. The location would give me feel more comfortable to live at. The house would be located in the suburbs, not far from the town because I am not really like the shining and bright lights.

I like to build my dream house which the front view of my house could be a mosque and a ‘Madrasah Tahfiz’. The place where the peoples of all ages studying about religion and memorizing of al-Quran. I want my family and I will always covered and experience the environment and our daily life in pleasant surroundings of good things.

My house is made of stone and brick except the small shelter could be from wood. It has two floors with a main bedroom and three other bedrooms. In the centre of first floor, there is the main family room for my family to spend time and watching television together. Behind that, there is a mini-library and pray room for whole family. In the middle of the house is the main staircase to goes up and go down to the two floors.

On the ground floor, on the left of the house it is a large sitting room for guests or visitors such as friends and the family members. Next to the living room, it is a room for mini gym where the space for our healthy exercise routine. On the right, there is a kitchen and two dining rooms for men and women. Under the staircase, there is also a laundry room and on the outside of laundry room is the long hanging place with the transparent roof.

The front view of the home usually within close to public street. So the home landscapes is the first impression that people will see and attract, so that the object of the front landscape should be to frame the home. I would like to decorate a beautiful garden which full of variety of beautiful and colourful flowers and plants. The potted flowers bring splashes of color and greenery. It is welcome visitors to my home. On the left there is a walkways that my family can walk with me along the garden path. On the right, it would be a mini-playground for my children to play in every evening hour. In the centre of the house is the place to park my cars. It is the garage without roof.

The rear view of house, I will build a medium swimming pool because I love swimming very much for my good exercise. Besides that, I would like to plant any kind of vegetables like chilli, limau kasturi leaf, pandan leaf, green onions and so on. I also will create two beautiful small shelters as a relaxing space that encourages ‘Family Gathering’ and a space to share with the people like friends and family.

I hope my dream home will be come true. I know I have to work hard to achieve my dream.

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.

My Dream House

I have my Dream house since I was young. I always dream my house were full with all my siblings and we happy live together. I don't want a big house, just it must comfortable. I want my parents can live and staying with me in that house. I hope I can build my own dream house with my brother. In that house, it have 1 room for our family to pray together, room for study, 1 room for my parents and 4 room for me and my siblings. Also have a kitchen, living room and other necessary. Area my house, it have simple plants and flower also the air were fresh. I hope my dream house were become a reality.

My dream house

In my live, I must have a house. The house very important because more time we will stay at house. My dream house is Traditional Malay house. My house is based on concepts traditional and moderm. I like wood house because it show natural environment and malay culture. Eventhough my house is traditional but I will upgrade with moderm concepts. When I married I will discuss my wife about my dream house again. That all about my dream house. Thanks.

The Blue Mosque-Istanbul

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 location of the mosque is just opposite of the splendid Church of Hagia Sophia as it is trying to compete with it. That is actually true because Architect Mehmed wanted to construct a bigger dome then Hagia Sophia's but he could not succeed. Instead, he made the mosque splendid by the perfect proportion of domes and semidomes as well as the splendid minarets. There is an interesting story of the mosque; according to it, Sultan Ahmet I wanted to have a minaret made of gold which is "altin" in Turkish. The architect misunderstood him as "alti" which means "six" in English. However, when the architect was shivering as "am I going to be beheaded?", the Sultan Ahmed I liked the minarets so much. Prior to that time, no sultan had a mosque with 6 minarets.
Upon the entrance to the mosque, one should pay attention to the gate. The gate is a typical Seljuk- Turkish wooden work with a geometrical design in its center. The star symbolizes the Turkish Generation and very typical of early 11-12th C Turkish Art. After the gate, one meets the breathtaking interior of the mosque with its chandelliers and blue tiles. The mosque is all surrounded by beautiful 17C Iznik tiles which give its name to the Blue Mosque. It is all carpeted with prayer rugs because people must put their forehead on the floor and therefore the floor should be soft and clean.
The building is nearly a square and covered with a dome of 23.5 m.(77 feet) in diameter and 43m(140 feet) high. There are four colossal standing colums of 5m. in diameter(16.3 feet) which give the basic support to the building. 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 original. The Imam(priest) goes on the pulpit every Friday on the sacred day of the Muslims but he never climbs to the very top as a respect to Prophet Muhammed. Everybody should turn their face to the south when praying, because Mecca is located in South.

My Dream House..

I did not have a dream house. I love my old house. I live in Rumah Panjang. I just want to upgrade my old house to be like a new house. I like my old house because I have many sweet memory in this house. I don't want a new house because my old house is suitable to my life. So, if I have idea about my dream house, I will you all later. Bye..

Burj Al Arab

The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel and restaurant located in Dubai,United Arab Emirates .Burj Al Arab is managed by the Jumeirah Group.The architect was Tom Wright of Atkins,Said Khalil of Mitchelsson Group.It have 202 rooms.At 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the tallest building used as a hotel.The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconoc structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat.The building design features a steel exoskeleton wrapped around a reinforced concrete tower.They wanted a building that would become an iconic or symbolic statement for Dubai. It needed to be a building that would become synonymous with the name of the country.The Burj Al Arab was built between 1994 and1999.The architect and engineering consultant for the project was Atkins, the UK's largest multidisciplinary consultancy. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts. The hotel cost $650 million to build.

In my opinion to choose this building because it have an unic shape of the building.The type of the building was a skyscraper and that was amazing because they built Burj Al Arab on artificial island.It's mean the building must have the best of stable because the wind are too hard in the sea.

In matric, I was studied so hard. I pay attention in lecture hall and not talking to my friend. If I can not understand some topic, I will find the lecturer and ask them. I push my self not to give up and every free time i do the revision. Sometime, I make a group discussion to discuss any we don't understand.

One year, I'm at Matriculation. I already past the first and second semester final exam. Now, I'm just waiting for my result. At 25 Mei 2007, 8.00 a.m in monday morning , i feel so scared and can't to calm down. I talked to myself to be passion and calm.At 8.15 a.m, I'm already have a little strength to send this message.

A few minutes after that, I get the reply. That time my heart was beat up more fast than before. I'm afraid to open this message but I must to do this because it will make sure what course I will take in University. I open and read the message. I was shocked because I did not expect taht I can get pointer 3.83. I was so very happy and it was the thing that I can't forget in my life.

petronas twin tower

Petronas Twin Tower- Kuala Lumpur

Based on exercise at page 23, I would like to choose Petronas Twin Tower. The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was the worlds tallest building, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101. Tower 2 was built by the South Korean multinational Samsung Engineering & Construction and Tower 1 by Hazama Corporation of Japan^[1]. 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. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a popular shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. In my opinion, I choose it because it has KLCC Park which is a park with jogging and walking paths, a fountain with incorporated light show, wading pools, and a children's playground. Beside that, it also has Suria KLCC is one of the biggest shopping malls in Malaysia. However, 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. We can view panorama of Kuala Lumpur from there.

Why i like and choose Sydney Opera House..

The Sydney Opera House is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on June 28, 2007. Based on the competition winning entry by Danish architect Jorn Utzon, the Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. It is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The building and its surroundings are one of the best known icons of Australia. As well as many touring theater, ballet, and musical productions, the Opera House is the home of Opera Australia, the Sydney Theater Company and the Sydney Symphony. It is administered by the Opera House Trust, under the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts.

The Sydney Opera House is an expressionist modern design, with a series of large precast concrete 'shells', each taken from a hemisphere of the same radius, forming the roofs of the structure. The Opera House covers 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres) of land. It is 183 metres (605 feet) long and about 120 metres (388 feet) wide at its widest point. It is supported on 588 concrete piers sunk up to 25 metres below sea level. Its power supply is equivalent for a town of 25,000 people. The power is distributed by 645 kilometres of electrical cable.

The roofs of the House are covered with 1.056 million glossy white and matte cream Swedish-made tiles, though from a distance the tiles look only white. Despite their self-cleaning nature, they are still subject to periodic maintenance and replacement.The Concert Hall and Opera Theater are each contained in the two largest groups of shells, and the other theatres are located on the sides of the shell groupings. The form of the shells is chosen to reflect the internal height requirements, rising from the low entrance spaces, over the seating areas and up to the high stage towers. A much smaller group of shells set to one side of the Monumental steps houses the Bennelong Restaurant. Although the roof structures of the Sydney Opera House are commonly referred to as shells, they are in fact not shells in a strictly structural sense, but are instead precast concrete panels supported by precast concrete ribs. The building's interior is composed of pink granite quarried in Tarana and wood and brush box plywood supplied from Wauchope in northern New South Wales.

The Sydney Opera House contains five main performance spaces, other areas used for performances, a recording studio, five restaurants, and four souvenir shops. The five venues making up the main performance facilities: The Concert Hall, with 2,679 seats, is the home of the Sydney Symphony, and used by a large number of other concert presenters. It contains the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ, the largest mechanical tracker action organ in the world with over 10,000 pipes. The Opera Theatre, a proscenium theatre with 1,547 seats, is the Sydney home of Opera Australia and The Australian Ballet. The Drama Theatre, a proscenium theatre with 544 seats, is used by the Sydney Theatre Company and other dance and theatrical presentersThe Playhouse, an end-stage theatre with 398 seatsThe Studio, a flexible space, with a maximum capacity of 400 people, depending on configuration Other spaces used for performances and other events include the Utzon Room , a small multi-purpose venue, seating up to 210. It is the only interior space to have been designed by Utzon, having been renovated in 2004 under his direction.The Forecourt, a flexible open-air venue with a wide range of configuration options, including utilizing the Monumental Steps as audience seating, used for a range of community events, Live Sites, and special-occasion performances Besides theatrical productions and concerts, venues at the Sydney Opera House are also used for activities such as conferences, ceremonies, and social functions.
