Petronas Towers

But Norman was a company called Flatland Kurtz in New York, the WSP acquired.

They're actually the engineer for the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

He was from New York and he really, you know, took to me and I took to him.

He was coming, they were doing a lot of work in Hong Kong at that time.

It is 12.21 here in London.

It's time now to end today's briefing back where we started, in South America, because the Argentine-American architect Cesar Pelli designed world-renowned buildings like Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers and the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco.

Now, seven years on from his death, his final design has been completed.

The Lola Mora Cultural Centre in northwest Argentina is named after the 20th century sculptor and it beautifully houses six of her works.

On the roof, there is a beautiful roof garden.

Two floors down, which is on the 37th floor, there is an infinity pool, which is mad beautiful, overlooks the KL Tower and overlooks the Petronas Towers.

It is a breathtaking view.

So it is pretty stunning.

And frankly, I didn't want to be a farmer, but I was actually very attracted to the construction side of the world.

And Daniel International made me a very attractive offer to go into, you know, they're the guys that built Petronas Towers and about half Albuquerque, so big-time construction stuff.

And Exxon came along and offered me a whopping $75 a month more than Daniel did.

And in 1975, that was a huge difference in paycheck.

I was right on the equator there.

And, you know, I went to the Petronas Towers.

I actually went there and watched Avengers.

I was just trying to kill some time.

Yes.

If you go to Petronas Towers, Petronas have a team.

And when you go into the towers, you walk in and there's one of their Formula One race cars there just stuck to a wall, sort of, and probably a former one.

But yeah, no, they've got the Formula One up here.
