Description
Context view of the twin towers at center, looking down, southeast from 2 IFC tower; A twin-tower skyscraper complex completed in 1988. Tower I is 172 m (564.3 ft) with 44 storeys, and Tower II is 186 m (610.2 ft) with 48 storeys. The buildings were dubbed "The Koala Tree" because they resemble koalas clutching a tree. Paul Rudolph strove to relieve the traditional severity of skyscraper walls by designing clusters of obtruding windows. They were taken over by the Lippo Group after the collapse of the Bond Corporation. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/19/2013)
