square? that will be more ugly IMO. just like the Big Black box Sxxxs tower which i think lose out of architectual skill..

I meant to say that the alignment of Petronas Towers is a disadvantage.

For instance, the former WTC-towers in New York were placed relative to each other in such a way that the total image became more dynamic.

With the Petronas Towers there's no alternative for it's present alignment.

In fact, this will always be the case as long as you stick with the combination 'numbers of towers=2' and 'shape of each tower=identical and round'.

They look especially soaring and magnificent at night!

I think they look really beautiful, but there's something with them that I don't like...

8.5/10

The towers suffer from the problem that many Asian towers suffer from - oriental influences on skyscrapers simply do not work. They are fine for low-rise structures. But once you start mixing influences - you end up with a mutt that is neither one thing or the other. In other words - a jack of all trades, good at many things, excellent at none. And unfortunately, Petronas suffers because of this.

And the skybridge is a major faux-paux, although, functionally it works. So that is a wash in my book.

They are the worlds best example of underachieving architecture.

Maybe they're the tallest (I think they aren't) but not the best... 9/10 is enough.
