Berjaya Times Square

The building in the time of humans

Berjaya Times Square is 203 meter mix-use building in the Bukit Bintang district of Kuala Lumpur. The complex hold a shopping mall, a hotel, a condominium as well as an indoor amusement park located on the 7th floor of the shopping mall. The complex was completed in 2003 and standing as the tallest structure built in a single phase, has become a prominent figure of the KL Skyline. However with people no longer present, how long can the complex last by itself?

### 1 Day after People

The usual hustle and bustle of the shopping complex has been replaced by the sound of emptiness and impending doom. While the complex waits for visitors that will never show up, the Kuala Lumpur Power Grid fails, leaving the entire complex in pitch black. The night sky returns to Kuala Lumpur.

### 1 Week After People

New visitor arrive at the Berjaya Times Square, yet they don't come in search for shopping. They come for food, and lots of it. Rats, insects, and other small creatures infest the shopping mall and ravage any food court nearby. As the fresh food rots, the creatures come in search for it, a banquet for nature itself. But the main course will come later, much later.

### 10 Years After People

Standing in the midst of the moist environment of Kuala Lumpur, the exterior paint has chipped away, allowing moisture to degrade and corrode the metal and concrete within. Inside, another attracting amusement is slowly degrading too. The theme park built within the Times Square has attracted a bit of plant growth after a few windows have shattered off. The glorious colors and attractive imagery of the theme park has started to fade away, bringing a bitterly cold environment into the park. Although they remain intact for now, it won't be long until nature tears apart the rest of the building one by one.

### 50 Years After People

While most of the mall has started to fall apart and deteriorate by the hands of plants and moisture, the theme park is starting to strain. The supports of the rollercoaster in the indoor theme park can no longer hold the rails, causing the rollercoaster to come crashing down 7 floors to the ground floor, leaving a big hole behind it. This alone isn't enough to bring the entire complex down, but the destruction has weakened the supports of the already deteriorating building. Outside, the once lush and luxurious pool area has transformed into a small forest, a sky-high home for creatures, land and water. On top, the sign of the Berjaya Times Square is degrading as well. The identity of this structure is fading away, slowly but surely.

### 105 Years After People

Standing amidst the forest-filled city that was once Kuala Lumpur, the Berjaya Times Square is barely holding on as well. Years of deterioration has lost its brown color, and the collapse of the theme park, as well as enveloping vine growth has made the situation worse for it. Now, the supports of one of the towers can no longer hold the stress and they fail, causing the tower to lean and collapse, which hits the other tower at its base. The result is a double tower collapse, eradicating any evidence for the glorious attraction that was the Berjaya Times Square.
