The Petronas Twin Towers ( also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were the world’s tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twinbuildings and office building in the world. Tower 1 was built by Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering & Construction and Kukdong Engineering & Construction (both of South Korea).The Petronas Twin Towers 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. Spires are considered integral parts of the rchitectural 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.
