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. https://worldarchitecture.artinterp2.org/files/original/fe6c88ebe509c1761aea99e592f6ea2c.png b318b640e5d707a3526d1e7d2167662e https://worldarchitecture.artinterp2.org/files/original/3d03388eb3cdf4dfc736f00b1b03844e.JPG 1a68856567052830ba0fcdeb0340f6f4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is constructed using a concrete frame and marble. The building has a diameter of 70 m, constructed of 27 marble-covered petals. Architect Fariborz Sahba studied various temples while working on the structure. Inspired by the local culture, the building takes the form of a lotus. Sahba was especially interested in depicting the purity within the temple. The pure white exterior from the marbles to the serene interior emphasizes such dedication. While the temple is for the Baha'i Faith, it is open to visitors.

Jin Mao Tower is a commercial skyscraper built by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The building, constructed primarily of steel, concrete, and glass, is a contemporary play on Chinese culture. Jin Mao Tower's structure relies heavily on the number eight, with 88 floors, eight steel columns, etc. The number eight in Chinese numerology is often associated with prosperity. These structural elements are not limited to cultural heritage, however. They also prevent natural disasters. The pagoda structure allows the building to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, similar to other contemporary skyscrapers.
