I changed the design of the original 1 WTC conceptual mass to be more rectangular. I also spent some time selecting the constant parameters so my flexed model would stay within the 1,200,000 SF - 1,500,000 SF limits. Here is the original design with the base parameters:
Here are the base constraints/parameters I used for my model:
The parameter that can be used to flex and dynamically change the building form is the Tower Top Rotation. I set up code to test 8 cases of top rotation angles, from 0-70 degrees in intervals of 10. This range and increment value can be modified with 3 integer sliders:
The results are shown below. The extreme cases (0 and 70 degrees) approach the extents of the gross floor area range, but remain within the 1.2M to 1.5M SF allowance.
Here is the flexed design for a top rotation angle of 30 degrees:
Here is the flexed design for a top rotation angle of 70 degrees:
