How about this?

The early illustrations were certainly more curvy. But I think that first set of images really emphasized the view of the slender western side (That view angle may be a strong influence on what we thought the building might look like) I added the illustrations that were posted at the actual site, with western side view and wider south-western view, and then the latest rendering of the wider south-western view, that has gendered several negative comments.

I noticed the newer renderings lack the emphasis on the bridge which really upped the exotic flavor of the illustration in the first design (in my opinion). I believe a different company is building that bridge?
