Jalan Yap Kwan Seng
A
combination of architectural motifs transform what
could have been a very bland tower into something
worth lingering over. This is a classic tower, with
a base, a shaft, and a distinct top; a staple of skyscraper
design since the 19th century. But on a more stylistic
note, the tower bears the tall vertical concrete fins
of 1970's architecture. It also bears 1980's-style
glass curtain walls. Plus a decorative crown popular
in the 1990's. No single element overpowers the others,
and the result is a harmonious union of architectural
signatures.
