Someone got permission to be creative. Nice spot!
A lot of the principles in play in that tower also apply to the Eiffel Tower (it was also designed to be a communications structure). The Tower and the Bridge is a pretty accessible introduction to those principles.
For concrete, Paulay and Priestley Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings (I also think it does a bit of CMU). Paulay I think did a book before this one on more general concrete design (maybe with Park).

This book is the basis for seismic design of concrete... and even if you don't do seismic design generally, it really helps with understanding the behavior of the material.
For steel I always end up using the AISC design guides.
Not really a technical guide, but the book The Tower and The Bridge I thought was brilliant when I read it a few years ago. It touches on the art of structural design.
I think a subscription to some of the top engineering magazines is pretty key to keep up on things as well (although I've been bad about keeping up with them myself). The technical gurus in my office though are always reading them.
