According to Wikipedia the Petronas Towers (aka the Petronas Twin Towers) are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)'s official definition and ranking, they were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers in the world replacing World Trade Center in New York. The towers were designed by Argentine American architect César Pelli in a distinctive postmodern style to create a 21st-century icon for Kuala Lumpur. Planning on the Petronas Towers started on 1 January 1992 and included rigorous tests and simulations of wind and structural loads on the design. Seven years of construction followed, beginning on March 1, 1993, with the excavation, which involved moving 500 truckloads of earth every night to dig down 98 feet (30m) below the surface. The construction of the superstructure commenced on April 1, 1994, with interiors and furniture completed on January 1, 1996. The spires of Tower 1 and Tower 2 were completed on March 1, 1996, and the first batch of Petronas personnel moved into the building on January 1, 1997.
The Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world for six years, until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004. The height of the towers is measured to the top of their structural components such as spires, but do not include antennas. Spires are considered actual integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences. Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and the World Trade Center towers were each constructed with 110 occupied floors (22 more than the 88 floors of the Petronas Towers). Willis Tower's tallest antenna is 247.4 feet (75.41m) is taller than those of the Petronas Towers, however, in accordance with CTBUH regulations and guidelines, the antennas of Willis Tower were not counted as part of its architectural features, whereas the spires on the Petronas Towers are included in the height since they are not antenna masts. Therefore, the Petronas Towers exceed the official height of Willis Tower by 33 feet (10m) even though the roof of the Petronas Towers, at 1,242 feet (378.6m), is 208 feet (63.4m) lower than that of Willis Tower, at 1,450 feet (442m).

I was getting dizzy while editing this photo, the repetitive pattern can get hypnotizing.
At the time of the visit, only Taipei 101 was going to be larger than these, hehehe, 10 years later and there are buildings 200 meters higher.
