This picture is from the inside of the Hyatt Shanghai taken from the 54th floor looking up in a timed exposure. The spiral is caused by little lookouts/promontories that are staggered on each floor to create an amazing swirling effect that seems to go on infinitely. In actuality, the Hyatt building is about 86 stories high and the Hyatt hotel starts at the 54th floor with office buildings from the 3rd through 53rd floors. At night, the elevators are lit and make moving lighted shadows up and down the shaft on the left of the picture, another amazing effect. Hats off to the architect for a truly awe inspiring effect both inside and outside this magnificent building.
