Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers: A symbol of Islamic architecture?

Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers: A symbol of Islamic architecture?Excerpt: A travelling exhibition on Islamic architecture happened to be on display at the Museum of Art when I was there. Interestingly, it was from the Aga Khan Museum so there was a connection between that and the Petronas Towers. The Aga Khan himself had opened the exhibit and in his remarks said that while the architectural heritage in the Muslim world was rich and diverse it was often neglected; he wanted to change that through his organization’s  awards.
