Two of the most famous twin towers in skyscraper history. Both set of twins are iconic and have/had a great impact of their respective skyline. I think this would all depend on your taste in architecture. Do you prefer boxier 70's style buildings or ultra-modern buildings?

I choose Petronas. :)

Is it fair to really compare towers that are still standing to towers that were destroyed nearly 12 years ago, and so pictures are more difficult to find?

If WTC was still standing it probably would be under a major renovation upgrading interior, maybe even upgrading the facade? Anything can happen in a parallel universe

WTC, has a simplicity and elegance I like, and it's historical richness is far greater in engineering and skyscrapers than Petronas.
