I wish more people would speak out against fantasyland renderings in order to call out the firms who put out such misleading nonsense.

Don't get me wrong - I'm glad this is being built. I just wish firms would stop producing intentionally unrealistic renderings.
It is a combination of using tricks to make something look more dynamic and it sort of a technicality found in rendering programs. Basically this is being looked at with a wide angle to capture the whole building which gives the distortion, the same can be found in Google Streetview when looking up at buildings.
