Three wings round a hexagonal core, each stepping back in turn so the tower spirals as it narrows, until only the core remains and runs on into the spire.
Modelled from simple shapes at roughly its true size, and rendered in clay. The map draws the rest the one way it draws everything: the ground under Dubai, as contour lines coloured by height, with its water and its names.
