This method of construction is very interesting. They keep doing things that I didn't expect.

Interesting fact: Every 1,000 ft high, the temperature drops a mere 3.57 degrees fahrenheit. So this tower is almost 2,000 ft high. Let's say it's 72F down on the ground around the base. Up at the top floors, it's almost 65F up there!
