Huh. I thought this was just something one of the diagram illustrators dreamed up, and not an official vision.

An image of the Cintas Tower appeared online in 2023.



Mario Miqueli, The Cintas Building: A Perspective Study for an Architectural Solution Based on the Fibonacci Series and Spiral Formations, Scheme B (1981)

The actual design is very different from the one shown as an illustration in SSP.
