Cable mullions. nice little surprise.

As amazing as this glazing is, would this high quality reflective glass not contravene FLAP bird-friendly guidelines?

My fear is how many birds will be injured/killed as a resulting of thinking they are flying in open skies right into the building with sky reflections like this ??

This is another thread in which I am not getting any updates from anymore.

Definitely looking great. But I am super anxious to see the residential towers start to climb

The view from the edge of the waterfront in Marcanadian's fifth and sixth photos makes me feel better about this building's big, flat, reflective sides. Decent materials and a great cool blue mirror effect for an increasingly cool blue waterfront. It's a silver lining for what's essentially a stodgy businessman in a sharp suit.

I can’t understand what people like so much about this. It looks awful to me; just an enormous wall of flat glass. It’s almost indistinguishable from the sky; there might as well not be a building there at all, visually speaking. It disappears completely. There’s nothing that attracts my eye to it whatsoever; it blends into the all-blue-glass monotony of the whole South Core.

Is good quality glass enough to make for good architecture? Couldn’t &co have used a material other than glass, and put an iota of variety in the cladding of such an enormous façade?

The office tower is by &co, not aA.

 

[arvelomcquaig]

Weird; I never noticed that distinction! I’ll correct my comment.

Great shots UrbanOptic. You can see the western residential tower pretty well in that first one.

I like how the shape of the lot and the office tower's square floor plate have been used to create some interesting angles.
