Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC)

Today image is a recycle image from my photo shoot with Bob last month. Kuala Lumpur City Center or the locals call it KLCC is the tallest building in Kuala Lumpur. Once a tallest building in the world not long time ago, the architecture of the building is the mixture of influence largely from South East Asia and the Middle East. The building architecture is composed of geometry from Islamic Era. From the builders point of view (In which I’m not ^_^), KLCC is considered hard to build. This was due to the face that Kuala Lumpur is actually resided within a soft layer of lime stone. To build this building, the engineers have to build a large floater just below the building in order to make it afloat.
