Shanghai WFC basic dimensions

[daveshepherd]

Would someone please help me with basic external dimensions for the Shanghai World Finance Center. I need to build a model for a grade project and I cant find anything more than the height!

Also if anyone has links to the design of the buildings around the base of the tower? again, my research has yielded nothing on the design details, even photos don't offer much as all the focus is on the tower and its redesigned "hole".

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"The tower's basic form is that of a square prism,
58meters on a side, intersected by two sweeping arcs to
form an ever-changing six-sided shape in plan, ultimately
tapering into a single diagonal line at the apex, 492meters
above the base."
