Here is some information that I came across on the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Petronas Twin Towers, part of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) stands majestically at 452 meters, visible for more than 20 km outside the city. The 88-stories Petronas Twin Towers had once been certified by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as the tallest building in the world. To reflect on Malaysian identity the floor design plate is based on Islamic geometric principles. Besides that, the lobby core wall is light Malaysian wood and the lobby marble floor pattern is derived from pandan weaving and bertam palm wall matting patterns. Exterior portion of the towers is designed in horizontal ribbons of vision glass and stainless steel which glint and shimmer in the sun. A 58.4m Skybridge at levels 41 and 42 links the Twin Towers. Costing US $1.2 billion and designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates (U.S.).
