The architectural skin of the tower is similar to that of a flowering vine climbing around a trellis structure. The concrete core and elevated footbridge peek out from the architectural form. The architectural form is derived from a chromosome and the central part of the chromosome is where the tower name gets its name.

Inspiration
 
The inspiration is drawn from a vine climbing up a lattice. The lattice is
extremely simple to build, and the vine uses the lattice for support as it roams in, out, and around the framework.
The science examines a chromosome, specifically
the central part of a chromosome known as the
“Centromere” to derive the overall shape of the
tower.
