A sudden question

Malásia (1)

Faz agora por estes dias cinco anos desde a minha viagem à Malásia. Passei duas semanas a trabalhar em Kuala Lumpur, dando formação a uma equipa local da multinacional para a qual trabalhava - e a minha companheira meteu férias e foi comigo.

Sem tempo para muito mais - estava a trabalhar durante os dias úteis, afinal -, ficámos apenas pela capital e arredores, com uma breve ida a Malaca. Não sei se algum dia teremos uma oportunidade de regressar à Malásia, mas gostaríamos imenso - há todo um país fascinante para descobrir para lá da cidade incrível que é Kuala Lumpur. Recordo a imponente Torre de Kuala Lumpur, com uma vista noctura para a cidade a fazer lembrar uma metrópole cyberpunk, as incontornáveis Petronas Twin Towers, a azáfama daquelas ruas quentes, a chuva de intensidade surreal que se abateu a dada altura. Em Malaca vimos os vestígios da presença portuguesa, preservados pela cidade; só não lamentámos mais não termos ficado lá de um dia para o outro porque no tempo que nos sobrou visitámos as Batu Caves, um lindíssimo santuário Tamil encaixado entre rochas e um espantoso sistema de grutas. E sinto imensa saudade da deliciosa comida que provei nos mercados de rua que se formavam no período de almoço junto ao complexo de escritórios onde trabalhava.

Por uma série de acasos acabei por não provar os famosos durians. Talvez seja este o pretexto que ainda me fará regressar, quem sabe (isso e os livros, que trarei aqui amanhã).

Skyscraper Appreciation Day

Take a trip to the grandest skyscraper in your area and appreciate the architectural marvel, or appreciate an entire skyline from just outside a city.

Climb to the highest of man-made heights in observance and celebration of Skyscraper Appreciation Day!

History of Skyscraper Appreciation Day

Skyscraper Appreciation Day was initiated and founded by Dr. Tom Stevens. Interestingly, it was created so that the general public could admire the structural and architectural brilliance of skyscrapers. Furthermore, it also celebrates the triumph of reason, as well as man’s ability to construct industrial masterpieces that go far beyond expectations.

This important day is situated on the anniversary of the birth of one of architecture’s most important and famous names, William Van Alen. Back in 1883, this native of Brooklyn, New York was born and, after studying in Paris, Van Alen would eventually go on to design the famous, art-deco style Chrysler Building, which is one of New York City’s most iconic and well-known landmarks.

In today’s world, skyscrapers continue to push the limits of architecture, offering a wide range of features. For instance, Taipei 101, is the world’s tallest and largest green and sustainable building, while The Shard in London has a unique layout of a “vertical city”, where a person could theoretically live and never leave!

Skyscraper Appreciation Day offers a wide range of opportunities to learn more, join in on events, and generally have a soaring celebration in honor of these architectural feats!

How to Celebrate Skyscraper Appreciation Day

It might be a whole lot of fun to celebrate Skyscraper Appreciation Day by undertaking one or more of the following activities:

Visit a Skyscraper

In honor of Skyscraper Appreciation Day, an interesting activity would be to venture to a skyscraper, whether close to where you live or far away, and marvel at its architectural beauty. Cities all over the world can be visited in celebration of the day, giving a nod of appreciation to these feats of architectural mastery. Consider visiting one of these famous skyscrapers from around the globe:

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Built in 2010, this one will stand as the tallest building in the world for more than a decade, at 2722 feet, holding at least 19 records.

One World Trade Center, New York City, USA. Officially the tallest building in the western hemisphere, this one was built in 2014 and stands at 1776 feet, as a nod to the year that the US gained her independence.

The Petronas Tower, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Not just a single, but a double, this one holds the record for the tallest twin tower in the world, joined by a skybridge at the 41st and 42nd floors.

Gran Torre Santiago, Santiago, Chile. The tallest building in South America was opened in 2013 and offers a postmodern style for its 62 floors.

Host a Skyscraper Themed Party

Have a skyscraper themed day where friends, family members or coworkers are encouraged to dress up as famous skyscrapers from around the world. This type of event is likely to get off the ground more for those who work at an architectural firm or with building contractors, but people with regular jobs can certainly try it out as well!

Learn Fun Facts About Skyscrapers

A super way to pay honor and respect on Skyscraper Appreciation Day would be to learn some fun facts to share in raising awareness for the day. Kids and adults alike will be interested in these bits of trivia about skyscrapers:

The world’s first skyscraper is considered to be the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, built in 1885.

The world’s fastest skyscraper elevator is located in the Shanghai Tower in China.

Certain skyscrapers can actually affect the weather, creating wind tunnels when multiple skyscrapers are built near each other.

Create a Skyscraper Themed Photo Collection

Folks who are avid travelers to cities, or who are photographers, might want to take this opportunity to sort through all of those favorite skyscraper photos and add them to the “Photos” section of the Skyscraper Appreciation Day Facebook page.

las torres gemelas

Las Torres Gemelas de New York, diseñadas por Minoru Yamasaki, formaban parte del World Trade Center, un complejo de siete edificios ubicados en el Distrito Financiero de Manhattan. Estos monolitos de acero con 110 pisos y 417 metros de altura, aunque una de ellas medía 415, cambiaron el horizonte de la ciudad y eran los edificios más altos de Manhattan en el momento de su finalización y las cuartas en el ranking mundial, por detrás de las Torres Petronas en Malasia (452 m), las Torres de Sears en Chicago (443m) y la Torre Jin Mao en China (421m).

Kuala Lumpur es parecido a Santiago

En bus llegamos a la estación principal de buses de Kuala Lumpur, esta quedaba lejos del centro pero existía metro que nos acercaba. Había visto algunas películas que se grabaron aquí y tenía impresiones varias de lo que veríamos. Llegamos y encontramos una ciudad que se dibuja súper moderna, entre edificios gigantes con arquitectura moderna, el Skyline es un edificio moderno tras otro, como es la capital está llena de gente, chinos, indios, malayos todos viviendo en una armonía que nos llama la atención, nos alojamos en el barrio chino en un hostal relajado y con azotea donde llegábamos a descansar del día a día.

Estos días acá en Malasia se celebra el "Malasia Day" el 16 se septiembre que no es el dia de la independencia, pero es algo similar para celebrar la creación del estado malayo, ósea se unió la península con otras regiones de la isla de borneo y Singapur por el año 1963. La independencia de la federación de Malasia fue en el año 1957 antes de eso eran una colonia inglesa. Las calles están adornadas con muchas banderas de Malasia muy similar a los que encontraríamos en Chile, hasta las torres Petrona están con los colores de la bandera de Malasia.

Estos días son también fiestas patrias por allá en Chile en esta ciudad de cemento nos acuerda a dos Santiaguinos lo similar de estas ciudades, será a lo mejor que el arquitecto de las torres Petrona es el mismo que hizo el costanera, o que estamos en el valle de Klang que nos rememora al de Santiago, solo falta su cordillera y un poco de frio(ya que el calor es muy pesado) o será que extrañamos un poco el calor de lo que llamamos hogar, en Kuala Lumpur nos sentimos cómodos más de los que esperábamos, los días se pasaban recorriendo y comiendo antes de llegar al hostal en el local de los chinos de Lanzhou su sopa con fideos.

Llegar a Kuala Lumpur nos trajo un poco de tranquilidad en el bullicio de la calle, KL fue más de lo que esperábamos pero es momento de seguir a la montaña de plantaciones de té.
