The best that I can tell, it will have a rounded front (looking at it from 3PNC, for example) and the opposite side will have 1 or 2 square sides so I think it is both. Remember this tower features a passive air cooling shaft as tal as the building. Perhaps this is what creates the odd shape?
Also remember the building will not be square (90 degrees) to Wood St. It is going to be at an angle. I think the final shape and design and stance of this building is going to be extremely unique. This is not gonna be your average bland office tower.

I'm just speculating because I have pondered these points as well. It's going to be somewhat of a suprise as it rises.
