Christian's Shanghai tower

                 The Shanghai Tower Script's Variable range allowed for what would have been a top heavy
appearance and an intersection of its skin and core. This was a result of the loft occurring between rotating sections at different heights. In order to minimise this top heavy appearance, the rotation variable had to remain within the range of approximately 350 on the sliders scale. This subtlety helps to give the tower a look of continuing movement.  The overall Height of the tower was lowered to 530m, allowing for a more stout appearance proportionate to its footprint and taper.  Within this range the tower retains its look of calm stability and does not intersect itself.
