They are joined by a sky bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors with an observation deck on the 86th. Both buildings stand at 88 stories tall and are the World's tallest twin structures. The buildings are primarily made of steel and glass, a characteristic of modern architecture. The structures incorporate Islamic motifs, with the bases, two interlocking squares, forming Islamic symbols of unity, harmony, stability, and rationality. Similar design elements are included throughout, with rounded edges and interior motifs. While the building itself is not inherently religious, the surrounding community is--Malaysia having a majority Muslim population. The design is a showcase of a building's ties to the surrounding culture and is constructed with it in mind.
