Petronas Towers 0042 - Kuala Lumpur Landscape

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, designed by architect Cesar Peli are the world’s tallest buildings and were just being built when I traveled to Malaysia for another story. Walking around downtown, I could see these strange mechanical arms protruding from the tops of the towers with these men in strange buckets that descended like mechanical spiders from the upper reaches of the building. There are several teams of fearless window washers employed to clean the tower windows. Like the painters who paint the Golden Gate Bridge, once they finish they start right back at the other end. It takes a month to wash the windows of one building.
