A taller building must also have a wider base. So the design of this building seems quite risky. Yes they have used aileron like fins to counter any problem arising from wind pressure but the problem is the base of the building doesn't seem strong enough to support the load caused by the height of the building.
You're right, this building will probably just topple over once it gets to a certain height. The designers are probably just guessing how strong it needs to be and hoping for the best.
