It’s not that hard to build something like the zipper building. Estimating that each floor is 3 meters high means that the right side of the is maybe 30 Meters in length. And at an angle of 45 degree, that means the overhang is actually just 21 Meters. With the counter lever on the other side this is totally possible. It’s basically like a crane at this point.
The dubai one is much harder at 65 meters length and a literal 90 degree angle.
The first building is relevant, because its an enormous building standing on a tiny base. The wind forces on this building alone are enormous.
