BUILT

Named after Malaysia's independence, this triangular supertall became the world's second tallest building in 2023.

Its facade design is inspired by the pattern of a rubber tree, a nod to Malaysia's colonial plantation history. The triangular form echoes the raised fist gesture of "Merdeka!" (Freedom!).
