Kuala Lumpur Skyline

My Lego model aims to reproduce one of Malaysia's most important cities: its capital Kuala Lumpur .

Seen this city is characterised by both a modern skyline made up of marvellous, imposing skyscrapers, as well as by older places and buildings that have nothing to envy from contemporary architecture.

With the help of a design programme and thanks to my profession as a surveyor, I created a skyline that would reflect the places I visited on my honeymoon.

The first building on the left represents a pair of skyscrapers, the Petronas Towers, which I made with grey and light blue transparent lego pieces with a circular shape that could better identify the real steel and glass materials. A suspension bridge joins the two towers.

The second building, I can in the background of my skyline is the Merdeka 118 skyscraper (or KL 118); the tallest in Malaysia and the second tallest in the world. To build it I used Lego bricks that could best reproduce the sinuous and irregular line of the building and I chose the colour blue because, being the original entirely made of glass, in this way I could reproduce the reflection of the sky on its walls.

Also in the second floor, in the third position, I made the KL Tower, a communication tower equipped with an antenna. To realise it, I used white cylindrical Lego pieces that could best render my construction faithful to the original.

The fourth building on the right-hand side of my skyline is the Menara Maybank Tower. To reproduce the actual planimetric effect consisting of two square blocks that fit together in one of the corners and the slanted effect on the lower base, I used white Lego bricks. While to reproduce the striped effect on the sides of the entire tower, I used grey gridded bricks.

The last building realised of his placed in the centre of the skyline and at the foot of the previous towers is the sultan's palace. I tried to faithfully reproduce the clock tower with its copper dome using brown bricks. The entire structure, on the other hand, was made with Lego bricks in different shades of beige and brown to also give a shadow effect to the inner parts of the palace.

I think this design can be a perfect new Architecture set because it reproduces a place worth knowing and visiting.
