The entire basis of the design is on the exoskeletal structure so how are they going to value engineer that? Even if they value engineered every doorknob and water faucet in the building it's still going to stand on the exoskeletal form more than anything else.

Actually the Butterfly was significantly value engineered. There were multiple concepts, which I'm not sure if it made it to the public, where it was two separated towers that were undulating in terms of width and floorplate size
