AFAIK, solutions involve 'shallowing' the frustums so they will allow the structure to run vertically and just cantilevering the floors rather than the structure following the envelope in and out as was priced (so, essentially the same structural solution as in Aqua), and "trying to stuff more program into the building"... not sure how you do that with hotel rooms, reducing the size of condos I can see and maybe lowering floor to floor heights... but the big 'concept', 3 frustum towers, remains
still not sure why 3 beautifully detailed, thin boxes that met the ground and their neighbors well wouldn't be better... painful to see this amount of cost-cutting so early in the design process...
