As many writers know, some things are harder to describe than others. Case in point--skyscrapers. They are not simple rectangles standing high to the heavens. They have shapes that give them certain personalities and characteristics.
The skyscrapers in the image below are proposed yet never fulfilled, a fate that could inspire worldbuilders and alternate history writers. (The Volkshalle dome in Man in the High Castle brings to mind.)
In the image, the buildings are of different color. In this question, only the ones in the foreground are the focus. The dark greys are completed. The blacks are proposed, but never finished. Some I can describe easily, but listed below are those that are much more challenging:
In a question of help, how would YOU describe the listed towers?
To provide a clear example, if I were looking at Sky City in Changsha from a distance, I would describe it as a narrow wedding cake with four or five layers.
