The central core is supported by a foundation slab, while at the corner of each floor is a concrete column supported by a pile foundation. The truss consists of a spine column at the corner of each floor plus horizontal and diagonal elements that reach to each side of the glazed spine. Stabilisers also connect the floor slabs with the framework. Gusts have caused delays of days in both concrete work and erection of the steel exoskeleton.
For the horizontal structure, there are nine conical slabs, one for each cube, in which half of the circumference of each slab cantilevers from the core. The remaining triangular section is supported by the apex column and central core.
