Basically, rock music that I\u2019ve liked my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But beyond liking the genre, the progressive metal band\u2019s music played a practical role, too\u2014especially when it came to navigating the skyscraper\u2019s architecture, including the geometric fa\u00e7ade dubbed bamboo boxes and the spiraling metal &#8220;dragons&#8221; decorating the corners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of the appeal of music is that actually it helps me with pacing,\u201d Alex explained. \u201cEach bamboo box had been taking me about five to six and a half minutes.
