        I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

        I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

            It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.
