HAIF user Tanglewoods describes the design for 1600 Louisiana. Sounds like the design has changed from the rendering we have.

The tower has to vertical setbacks on two sides of the building. All four faces of the building have a slight curve to them (there are no straight sections).
The coolest feature IMO is that the tower is smaller at the bottom. The lower few levels (i think its 1-3) are setback from the upper floors by 10-15 feet. There is a gentle slope up which will give a very cool view from the ground. Seeing 49 floors cantilevered above your head should be pretty cool.
The podium portion of the tower will be crazy cool. It seems like this section is still in flux but everything that I have seen is awesome
