  Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur

Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur

PETRONAS Twin Towers

Overview:
Soaring to a height of 451.9 metres, the 88-storey twin structure is Kuala Lumpur's crown jewel. Majestic by day and dazzling at night, the PETRONAS Twin Towers is inspired by Tun Mahathir Mohamad's vision for Malaysia to be a global player. Together with master architect Cesar Pelli, the international icon powerfully captures the nation's ambitions and aspirations.
The PETRONAS Twin Towers symbolises Malaysian culture and advancement on the world stage. This is shown by a blend of local art and cutting-edge innovation. The interior motifs are a reflection of local handicrafts and weaving patterns, while stainless steel and glass combine beautifully as Islamic patterns.
The design of each Tower's floor plate is based on simple   geometric forms of two interlocking squares, creating a shape of eight-pointed stars. Architecturally, these forms describe important Islamic principles of "unity within unity, harmony, stability and rationality".
The towers are 'intelligent' structures, built with a system that seamlessly coordinates telecommunications, environment control, power supply, lighting, fire and smoke control, and building security.


- Pinnacles
These structures house the aircraft warning lights and external maintenance building equipment.
Each pinnacle features a spire with 23 segments, and a ring ball comprised of 14 rings of varying diameters.

- Exterior
Each Tower is set back five times in its ascent to maintain the vertical axis and tapering of the design. The walls of the uppermost floors are also sloped inward to taper and meet the pinnacle.
The Towers feature multi-faceted walls of 33,000 stainless steel and 55,000 glass panels. Vision Glass, specialized panels with light filtering and noise reduction properties, provide a comfortable inner environment. The glass is covered by stainless steel visors to further protect visitors from the tropical sun.

- Interior
Designs and patterns of the entrance halls' foyer reflect traditional handicrafts and 'songket', or weaving. In addition, the wall panels and screens are also inspired by hardwood carvings from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The floor designs are based on intricate patterns of pandan weaving and Bertram palm wall matting.

- Lifts
The Towers house 29 double-decker high-speed passenger lifts, six heavy-duty service lifts and four executive lifts. The floors are based on a zoning arrangement: two sets of 6 double-decker lifts serve levels 1 to 23 and levels 1 to 37, while another set of the five double-decker lifts take passengers directly to the Sky Lobby. Here, passengers take another lift to the upper zones.
The executive lifts are the longest rise in any office building in Malaysia. It serves every floor from the basement car park to the top of the Towers in 90 seconds.
Each passenger deck can carry 26 people or 52 in total, while the executive lifts can carry an average of 10. Its speed is between 3.5m/s and 6.0 m/s, depending on the zones they

  Local Architecture: Building Place, Craft, and Community
Posted by: ibg0203 - 11-22-2015, 05:21 PM - Forum: Architecture Books - No Replies

Local Architecture: Building Place, Craft, and Community

Author(s)/Editor(s): Brian Mackay-Lyons | Size: 192.8 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press | Year: 2014 | pages: 224 | ISBN: 1616891289

In architecture, as in food, local is an idea whose time has come. Of course, the idea of an architecture that responds to site; draws on local building traditions, materials, and crafts; and strives to create a sense of community is not recent. Yet, the way it has evolved in the past few years in the hands of some of the world's most accomplished architects is indeed defining a new movement. From the rammed-earth houses of Rick Joy and Pacific Northwest timber houses of Tom Kundig, to the community-built structures of Rural Studio and Francis Kéré, designers everywhere are championing an architecture that exists from, in, and for a specific place. The stunning projects, presented here in the first book to examine this global shift, were featured at the thirteenth and final Ghost conference held in 2011, organized by Nova Scotia architect, educator, and local practitioner Brian MacKay-Lyons. The result is the most complete collection of contemporary regionalist architecture available, with essays by early proponents of the movement, including Kenneth Frampton, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Pritzker Prize–winning architect Glenn Murcutt.

A Guidebook to Contemporary Architecture in Vancouver explores buildings constructed as the city experienced unprecedented growth, beginning with Expo ‘86 and continuing through the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The guidebook features buildings and public spaces grouped by areas, with maps so that a visitor can create walking tours, including ones through downtown Vancouver, Richmond, the North Shore, and Kitsilano. The convenient size and format, including an index, allows visitors to put this guidebook in a pocket and go.

COLOMBIA - Seismic code

Author(s)/Editor(s): Asociación Colombiana de Ingeniería Sísmica | Size: 18,4 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Year: 2010 | pages: 1625


[Image: 93813472503326380592.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

Based on the statutory authority under the Act 400 of 1997, the Colombian Earthquake Resistant Building Regulations NSR-98 was issued through Decree 33 of 9 January 1998. Subsequently three additional decrees fall within the Regulation issued NSR- 98, namely Decree 34-1999, Decree 2809-2000 and Decree 52-2002; which they sought to important aspects for the proper application of Regulation NSR-98 and affecting only
some parts of it.
For updating they were consulted the latest versions of the same basic rules that were used in drafting the Rules of 1984 and updating Regulation NSR-98. Especially the 2006 requirements NEHRP (FEMA 450-2006) which corresponds directly to the base line that has been used for earthquake resistant design in Colombia since 1984. Also consulted document requirements were taken into account International Building Code (IBC-2009).
