Here's a web-site concerning the Zoo Tower from an engineering point of view. Mark pointed out a few mysterious bits of info... http://www.lusas.com/case/civil/wooden_tower.html
interesting - is the model not correct, or did the top shift / change during construction? It is actually engineering analysis "finite element analysis" (FEA) that makes these structures viable.
Odd to see some errors in terminology too. Like referring to the structure as as "space truss." Also, it says the laths were factory formed and bent further on-site - is this true? The only thing that I have seen is that they were steamed on site.
I don't know the answer to the factory comment. Maybe someone will enlighten us.
