The steel above the EPAC will be supported from the top of the building, but the remainder of the building will be built just like any other highrise with steel rising from the ground and being supported from the ground and anchored to the core. The only difference is that the northern portion of the building will be stronger and designed differently than a normal building with the same shape, because the southern section will rely on the northern section to carry the weight of it.

Future Mayor,
First things first.... Thanks for all of the contributions you provide to these forums. Your insight is truly extraordinary!!!
Secondly; as the speculator you mentioned above, I am curious what the actual design will be? Your clarifications make complete sense and would be a practical construction method. However, the images released today do not seem to indicated there is any ground level steel to support either the North or South sides of the building.
I was hoping to get a final answer on this.
Do you (OR ANYONE) have access to the design specs, a news article, know someone that knows someone, or any other source that can put this to rest for me?! Please and Thanks!
