wpp is a very neat building, one of my favs. Looks like its leaning from some angles. The view cones had a part in its design, but surely architects would've made it similar and taller if it werent for the viewcones.

They might have, but probably not. Often creativity of design comes from solving unique challenges, artificially imposed or otherwise.

Also in my experience developers only give their designers just enough leeway to get a project approved, only in very rare cases do developers volunteer a truly fantastic building out of the goodness of their hearts.
