Gradient Glass Tower: Facade Transition from Dark to Light

Design a slender residential tower in the manner of Cesar Pelli whose glass curtain wall is composed of eleven shades of the same colour, arranged so the facade appears to lighten gradually from a dark base to a pale top. Compose the graded panels reading as a subtle vertical gradient, a fine grid of mullions with no other articulation, older masonry buildings crowding the base, a narrow slice of Manhattan sky, clear morning light, low view up the shaft, 24mm lens, architectural photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
