  • 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.

  • World-renowned architect CP Wang of CY Lee & Partners stands in front of Taipei 101, which at 508 meters, stands the tallest building in the world. The jade green bamboo-inspired exterior connotes vigor and sturdiness in Chinese culture. Good idea for a tower that stands 200 meters from a major fault line in a city prone to typhoons. Lee designed eight stories to each of the eight segments because the number "8" signifies prosperous growth. Each segment is shaped like a scepter, with ancient coins on the exterior of the 26th floor to give this modern building a Chinese style.
