Some conceptual ideas for one part of the central tower, the church located at the peak of the tower.
Much conceptual strength of the church is already expressed by the site- the circular floor plan is representative of the holy, as is the cruciform lanes of access to within. This is further strengthened in section, the church being elevated up to 60 floors, floating in the sky. These elements will be essential in forming a successful concept. Considerable focus will be paced on harnessing and exploiting the potential of what already exists.

Using the church to inform the concept sounds like a good idea, i was thinking of running with this, and using the pyramids as a precedent to the design.

Four points face North, south, east, west. each of which represents one of the four elements, earth, air, fire, water. Firth element (spirit) at the top.
Considering we are designing for 2nd life and parameters are different i think maybe the use of cones and spheres may be more suitable for the way people experience places in the virtual realm.
