Twin towers of PETRONAS
Minggu, 26 Juli 2009The Twin towers of PETRONAS were designed by Cesar Pelli and join (the United States) in association architects of KLCC.
The tower 'the design of dish of floor of S is based on the simple Islamic geometrical forms of two places of locking creating the shape of eight-acute stars. On eight-acute stars, are eight superimposed half-circles softening the interior angles.
These half-circles themselves are anchored by the arcs of the principal structural columns of the buildings. The half-circles were superimposed in the interior angles of the places engaged to create a surface on the ground more usable.
The details of design continued to dictate the way in which the buildings would rise in also gracious a fashion like possible. To maintain the axis and to fray vertical design, each turn is placed behind five times in its rise.
Structurally, these forms reflect the Islamic paramount one of principles unit in the unit, the harmony, stability and rationality.
With the highest floors, the walls are gently tilted towards the interior to fray and contribute visually to the size and the elegant shape of horizontal silver plated stainless steel ribbons.
Each aspect of the design contributes to the daring verticality of the turns. The decision to align the Twin towers symmetrically and to connect them to a bridge of crossing-over underlined the traditional nature of the architectural design.
The writings of the EAST of the Laotian, the ancient philosopher and the founder of Taoism in China, indicate that the reality of a hollow object is in the vacuum and not in the walls. Cesar Pelli, architect of the turns, used the force of the vacuum between the buildings -- delineation of an invisible axis of symmetry. For the architect, it is this vacuum which gives to the PETRONAS the Twin towers their direction of splendour and single identity.
