Vancouver Sun

An Arthur Erickson-designed skyscraper that promises to be Vancouver's most unusual and striking building is on its way to City Hall for approval. The slim, elegant, glass-covered building rises from its triangular base to its summit in a way that gives the 167-metre tower – which would be the city's second highest after the Shangri-La across the street – a sense of grace and movement. The tower will appear to twist 45 degrees from bottom to top. Each floor will be offset 0.75 of a degree from the one below.
