Twin Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur is famous as an ‘Asian tiger’ city. Over the ages, it has grown from a pastoral setting to a busy city inhibiting about over a million people.The city is known universally as KL. It appears the visitors as a just another cosmopolitan Asian city, which nestles sky kissing skyscrapers and other towering edifices.
But apart from its modernity, even today KL still retains and cherishes quite a big part of its fundamental temperament and local various hues that are on an edge to be wiped out in other Asian cities, which are booming in today’s world.The chief attractions of Kuala Lumpur lie in the historical twin Petronas Towers-the tallest building in the world-that are located on the west coast, plenty of its colonial structures in its center, a vivacious Chinatown with street vendors all across, sparkling night markets, and a lively Little India. The city has an interesting mix of elegant architecture decorating the whole city; KL has elegant colonial buildings, in contrast with soaring modern edifices.

Leaning Tower of Pisa-Italy

Unfortunately, even today the great mass continues to sink very slowly. It is a question of about 1 mm. every year. Since nobody can state with mathematical security that this sinking will continue in the future at the present yearly rate, without its ceasing, remedies by means of adequate measures, based on scientific studies and projects, are under consideration. In the meantime supervision with instruments of very high precision is continuously being carried out.The Tower of Pisa was a work of art, performed in three stages over a period of about 177 years. Construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile began on August 9, 1173, a period of military success and prosperity. This first floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals.
The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning. Construction was subsequently halted for almost a century, because the Pisans were almost continually engaged in battles with Genoa, Lucca and Florence. This allowed time for the underlying soil to settle. Otherwise, the tower would almost certainly have toppled. In 1198, clocks were temporarily installed on the third floor of the unfinished construction.
In 1272, construction resumed under Giovanni di Simone, architect of the Camposanto. In an effort to compensate for the tilt, the engineers built upper floors with one side taller than the other. This made the tower begin to lean in the other direction. Because of this, the tower is actually curved. Construction was halted again in 1284, when the Pisans were defeated by the Genoans in the Battle of Meloria.
The seventh floor was completed in 1319. The bell-chamber was not finally added until 1372. It was built by Tommaso di Andrea Pisano, who succeeded in harmonizing the Gothic elements of the bell-chamber with the Romanesque style of the tower. There are seven bells, one for each note of the musical major scale. The largest one was installed in 1655.
After a phase (1990-2001) of structural strengthening, the tower is currently undergoing gradual surface restoration, in order to repair visual damage, mostly corrosion and blackening. These are particularly strong due to the tower’s age and to its particular exposure to wind and rain.

Eiffel Tower-Paris(France)

Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower is probably Europe’s best known landmark and Paris’s most famous symbol.The tower rises 300 meters tall (984 ft); when it was completed at the end of the 19th century it was twice as high as theWashington Monument, at the time the tallest structure in the world.The Eiffel Tower was built for the World Exhibition in 1889, held in celebration of the French Revolution in 1789.
The construction was only meant to last for the duration of the Exposition, but it still stands today, despite all protests from contemporary artists who feared the construction would be the advent of structures without ‘individuality’ and despite the many people who feared that this huge ‘object’ would not fit into the architecture of Paris.
