WTC twin towers , the first twins and they looked massive and impresive , strengt over beauty

Subangite · October 3rd, 2006, 08:46 AM

This picture clinched it for me, simplicity works, they look so elegant, especially with that waterfront reflection. Absolutely stunning!

Question, am I the only Malaysian voting for the WTC??

The Petronas symbolyze the awaking of Asia and 'skrapers, the twins symblolized eveything else..........9/11 never forget.

WTC. Where else could you stand up at the base and look up and be enraptured. ANYWHERE on the base (You can't even do this for Sears Tower). I have been blessed, I stood on the roof observation deck, I think 1996 (I should dig for the OLD 8 MM tape and youtube it). The lobbies were insanely impressive. I thought WOW look at this open space and there are more than 100 floors above that!!! Petronas is absolutely beautiful also. The only weird looking thing is the sky bridge. I have never actually seen Petronas except in pictures, but the shape is cool. In KL I do like TeleKom Malaysia that is one real beautiful building! I vote WTC but it is close!!!

At least there exists still Minoru Yamasaki's twin towers, Century City in LA! They are only 44 floors though (and triangular)

I decided over architecture and construction. As a result, I chose Petronas. Architecturally, WTC is not original and the box method was being used all the way back in the stone age.Construction-wise, great achievement for its time but didn't Sears do something just as impressive?

Petronas is a beauty, so much detail in it and construction-wise, a real feat for modern times because it was so difficult to get the bridge to be on the tower in such a high winds and the stress put on the towers and bridge was such a problem.

Petronas Twin Towers-for the ultra-modern design...

TalB · December 4th, 2006, 11:55 PM

Since boxy buildings like the Twins do not change around the top, they can look like they are going on forever from the ground up.

Noostairz · December 5th, 2006, 01:31 AM

it's the wtc for me. iconic, and sadly missed.

kamil.bukowski · December 5th, 2006, 11:25 PM

For me is Petronas Tower

great184 · December 6th, 2006, 05:43 PM

Both are iconic towers, but ill give the vote for Petronas for its superior aesthetics.
