To keep the impact of the form / silhouette in current renderings they will have to make top floor plates smaller to maintain surface angles / rate of change. In doing so they would sacrifice more sq footage to fill.
Lets see what happens but I'm sure this is what architects are grappling with.

What if the height is added to the lower floors where footprints are larger?
