KUALA LUMPUR | Menara Telekom | 1,017 FT / 310 M | 55 FLOORS | 2001

The Menara Telekom is a very unique building that sits at the opposite end of Kuala Lumpur from Petronas (with the Menara KL in between). It's located right at a lite rail stop adjacent to a fairly upscale neighborhood.

The tower has two interlocking curved shapes. Large trusses form hanging gardens of sorts on several levels between the two larger portions of the tower. At the 45th floor, a huge helipad tops out the smaller section of the tower, with a large projection that extends the tower another 10 floors and 200' or so.

I was there in September 2006 on a very rainy day, but the reflective facade and just a hint of sun provided some decent light to take pictures...
