I do not like the cladding thus far. Like it was said before. It looks like the cladding on a suburban office park.

I think the cladding was started up high because the base is different from the rest of the building as you see in the drawing. there could be some things they have to add on the base. I don't know if any one knows this or not. when a building is being built the build everything that needs to be built first like concrete and still then what ever crew can jump in and not effect the rest of the building starts there work. I have only just begin this process in class Its interesting what you can work on well the building is still under construction.

I like the design its small but it makes a statement. Nice pics hope you post it when its almost complete and complete.
