The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion. Another Islamic influence on the design is that the cross section of the towers is based on a Rub el Hizb (represented as two overlapping squares, which is found on a number of emblems and flags), albeit with circular sectors added to meet office space requirements.
Due to the huge cost of importing steel, the towers were constructed on a cheaper radical design of super high-strength reinforced concrete.July 2013 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
