Notes
The tower structure is inclined conituously by 4° with an 8 meter offset at the top. Each level is free of columns in a 20 m by 15 m triangular area uncommon in medium size and tall buildings. Lateral stability is achieved by a central core. The architectural shape full of irregularities and special details, particularly for seismic loads.
