Integra Tower

The tower during the time of humans, with the Vista Tower visible in the background

### How Long?

90 years

The Integra Tower is 130 meter skyscraper located on Jalan Tun Razak on the outer section of Downtown Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. When it was completed in 2012, it was rated a prime Grade A office building. And since being within range of public transportation services as well as being close to the Petronas Towers, it has led to JP Morgan Chase Malaysia, Aker Solutions and SMBC to settle its headquarters there. The Integra Tower is designed column-free with a central core., while it’s platinum LEED certification means 40 percent water-efficiency as well as 20 percent energy savings. But if humans vanished from the face of the Earth, will its high-tech fittings be able to keep out the low-tech attacks from Mother Nature?

1 day after people: The tower's electricity is abruptly cut off permanently as the clock strikes 9pm, switching off the air conditioners, and leaving the elevators trapped midway between the tower's elevator shaft. Even with the water and electricty savings, its becomes totally useless as power completely fails, making the high-tech office building the Integra Tower once was to any ordinary skyscraper in the city.

2 weeks after people: The tower is being infested with rats and mice that begin to crawl through gaps in the walls in search for food scraps. They raid the countless hotel rooms and raid the minibars, somehow managing to open door of the fridge and unwrapping the plastic wrapping of snacks.

1 month after people: Because of the Vista Tower's immense height, birds were never really interested in settling into the Intergra Tower. But now, a flock of pigeons move onto the tower's rooftop, building countless nests and officially claiming the Integra Tower as theirs. Inside the building, most hotel rooms have been ransacked by rodents, while native animals roam around the lobby finding a suitable place to stay in the long run. The windows of the tower also start to become dirty without the help of window-washers, and the potted plants are slowly growing larger and larger.

5 months after people: A massive surge of water is approaching the Integra Tower due to a massive downpour that causes all rivers in the Klang Valley to jump their banks and flood the Klang Valley. The potted plants and the modern furnishings of the lobby are swept away, while the cars parked above the ground level remain safe and untouched. However, a lightning strikes the top floors of the Integra Tower, setting the floors ablaze and reducing them to charcoal. However, the structural integrity of the tower is still strong, and the tower stands even though some of the top floors are now reduced to ash.

1 year after people: The Integra Tower has lost some window panels during the Great Flood, allowing bacteria from outside to eat away the office supplies on the offices. The electronics left in the offices of JP Morgan Chase are left to decay while the beds in the DoubleTree Hotel are now the homes of mice. Meanwhile the "Aker Solutions" logo on top of the Integra Tower is now losing its colors as corrosion takes place overtime.

10 years after people: The windows of the Integra Tower are beginning to fall from the tower to their ultimate demise. Meanwhile, pigeons have inadvertantly brought seeds into the building whilst building their nests, which soon begin to grow due to favorable conditions of the Malaysian climate, which leads to the interiors being destroyed and covered by plants.

25 years after people: As Kuala Lumpur slowly turns into a jungle, the Integra Tower still stands. However, more windows have been broken, bringing in more seeds and covering the tower with a layer of plants and greenery, which prooves fatal for the tower. As more plants grow, the water brought in from rainfall are being kept to help grow the plants , which makes the entire tower's climate more and more moist, accelarating corrosion on the support beams. Meanwhile the "Aker Solutions" logo on the top floor is now beginning to lose the fight against Mother Nature. Word by word, they soon come crashing down onto the deserted streets below, shattering into a thousand pieces and scaring away birds.

50 years after people: As the tower loses more windows and plantlife continues to invade the building, the Integra Tower is slowly beginning to resemble the John Hancock Tower in Boston. The steel frame of the tower is turning very red as rust corrodes the support beams, while inside the concrete core of the tower is also starting to show signs of weakness as cracks start to form inside the core. All the interiors have been destroyed, and more and more native animals are moving in due to the favorable conditions.

80 years after people: The cables holding the heavy weight of the elevators are beginning to fail. One cable snaps, and the load becomes uneven for the other cable, which snaps as well, and one of the elevators in the concrete core plummeting all the way down to the bottom, crashing in a pile of debris.

90 years after people: In Downtown Kuala Lumpur, the windowless plant-infested Intergra Tower is still holding on, and will most likely be able to survive a few more decades. However, adjacent to the tower, the nearby Vista Tower is rocked with a violent explosion from leaking gas pipes. It then begins to lean forward and smashes straight into the Intergra Tower, causing both structures to come crashing down in a heap of smoke and debris. Some of the most prime office space in the city has now disappeared for good, never to be seen again.
