Other Information

Despite looking like a massive dildo this is a real design relying on the curves of it to stay rigid rather like parts of the male body.
The aerodynamic shape would reduce wind resistance and structural stress with a diagrid steel lattice wrapping around it.
The building has been concieved by the architect as being split into a series of seven different segements, one of which would be underground but all allowing different uses.
