    Well at least it has space for some significant greenery, unlike this hideous hellish monstrosity!

      You might as well put a big billboard on top "come and get us ISIS". Imagine being underneath it in one of those lower buildings.

        Doesn't the CoG have to lie within the footprint to stop the fecking thing falling over?
        When the fun stops, STOP.

          Barring some cleverness, I assume the centre-line is close to the right of the bottom element i.e. it's really just a tower and all the outer is somewhat a shell that hangs off it.

            I'd say so, or even a massive central brace or support "plane" (that would be seen sideways on if visible in the picture) sloping from bottom-right to top left, to counter-balance the left-right tendency of the floors.

            It wouldn't be so vomit-inducing if it started in the middle of what is presumably the base building and the floors above spread central-symmetrically
