I dont like ugly boxes. Petronas are very nice.

Poryaa · February 26th, 2007, 09:20 AM

I prefer rectangular buildings. They look most urbanized.

Well, then you should have no problem liking the WTC because they were beautiful boxes

My reasons are ...Sheer size of the towers....110 stories...1353ft....can see 45 miles on any side on clear days....208 or 63meters on each side...and remember this is in 1973 ! !....over 13 million sq ft....Held world tallest building not because of spires! !....but for sheer height! !

Petronas. Because I don't like ugly buildings

I've never seen the Petronas in person so it's hard to compare. But the WTC were unbelievable

WTC
They (use to) fit with the background scenery the best.
The Petronas for its Architecture.
So i like the 1st reason the best so WTC

If the Petronas Towers are really bigger than the Twins, then why would a person on the highest floor of either of the Twins be looking down at the person at the highest floor of either of the Petronas Towers?

FastFerrari · March 7th, 2007, 02:16 AM

How many picturesque views are there?......A lot more.

Cities (and buildings) sited by a large body of water (sea, lake, large river) tend to have that extra "oomph" compared with cities sited inland far away from any such body of water.

Petronas to me.
They're unbeliavable!!!!!!! I went to KL and those towers, I can tell you, are the most amazing thing I've seen!

jogiba · March 7th, 2007, 11:37 PM

I first seen the WTC under construction in 1969 at about 4am at night and the north tower was up about 30 floors and it was all full of lights and looked massive. I would stop there about every few months until it was topped off in the early 70's. The lobby of the WTC was about ten stories high and was fantastic compared to the Sears Tower that I visited in 1977 that was like walking into any generic office building. The indoor and outdoor observation deck of the WTC was huge and the indoor one was about four times the size of the Sears Tower's indoor observation deck. BTW my sister had her wedding reception at Windows on the World at the top of the north tower in the early 80's.

I like the Petronas Towers but I have too much of my life attached to the WTC to not vote for them.

Petronas, since they actually look GOOD, the WTC were ugly boxes...incredibly bland and boring. Dull grey rectangles.

why? The buildings are what they are. If someone was hating on the people who died there, ofcourse, that would be a different story. But the buildings, they are what they and buildings get destroyed in attacks all the time.
