It was an experiment in perspective, the impression of very tall buildings and height was desired. To achieve this, the towers were drawn closer at the top, and further away at the bottom, creating the illusion of depth.
These buildings appear to have been built over a long period, with different parts bolted on, it looks designed for necessity rather then purpose. They are far removed from some of the clean lined buildings in some of the silhouettes.
In the real world, older buildings are renovated or extensions are added after building a house. In the artistic industry, a lot of material is modelled on what happens in the real world, and is exaggerated in a fantasy world.
To create suspension of disbelief, I think it is best to create a city with these types of building, old, rusty, refurbished, large extensions added on, non paralleled lines, shape edges, cables, vents and antenna. These types of buildings are grittier and more in fitting with a crowded dystopia that I am designing.
The pictures below are the silhouettes with added detail. The picture on the right shows the towers as segmented, showing further that the buildings were made over a long period of time, far removed from the original design. This also enables up lighting to be cast from the segments, helping with the impression of height.
