FORM GENERATION
In order to maximize view toward the two streets and to increase the stability of the skyscraper, the tower is tapered from bottom to the top. The conceptural crown is designed as an extension of the tower to fit the tower tapering, which allows the upwash to follow the surface and go through the exposed structure.

A tri-arm perspex frame is employed as the sub-structure of each individual cluster, where each arm holds up 1 module. The perspex sub-frame is screwed on top to connected 3 individual modules. The tri-arm configuration prevents overlapping of the modules and stops them from colliding during movement.
