Basically, Aqua Tower have shape like another building that is square to the top. But Aqua Tower have beautiful facade that make this building different like a magic.

In my opinion, the main point is not only to the facade, if you look at the skyscrapers mostly have the unique design, which wastes space for room or building. The strength and stiffness of the building will also not be maximum if the design has a lot of emptiness.

When you see the building above, for beauty design willing make emptiness and waste space. The emptiness in building will affect to strength and stiffness of the building, but the Aqua Tower make the maximum space and make the design with facade does not make boring.
