I’m wondering about that landscaped exterior spiral in a torrential downpour; mudslides etc.?

Looks like a drill bit or a cork screw
I thought something very similar.
Though I like it, it made me thing of Beeezo giving a giant 'Screw you!' to customers and competitors alike.

My guess is that it's highly doubtful that this building could ever be built due to ADA regs, so it's just an architect's pipe dream.

if you note: surrounded by plain old glass boxes. So much for 'the ground-breaking future'.

Looks great. Much better than a boring box. I bet this glittering jewel for the 1% AMZN executives is an interesting contrast to the shipping freight warehouses the vast majority of Amazon employees work at.

Meh, looks like a single helix to me.
