Point duly noted; but as you suggest, taking liberties can for some ::raises hand:: open up a Pandora's box of sorts.

I see a fine line between marketing tactics and toying with one's susupension of disbeleif. In other words, someone like me who has the occasional propensity to literalize things (i.e. the euphemism, sarcastic dialogue and, apropos to this thread, visual abstraction) will look at something akin to these renders and have a cow because it just looks wrong.

Maybe in my parallel universe, any "WYSIWYG" approach to marketing a tower like this needs to have as its main focus an idea of what my project is really supposed to look like in the surounding urban context.

My 2ยข.

My understanding is that they're going forward with that assumption 90-to-100% on target.
