Older video, but again everything you need to know about the building and the design...(13 min in for materials) Two minutes in here for more on the facade... |

Thank you. I was confused as to what I was looking at along with the usage of the term 'cladding', hence the bunny trail to Grenfell. Unless I am watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island, I guess I expect a building to have a solid surface for the facade. I suspect that the honey bees in Central Park would enjoy the protected space behind. |
Now you have me confused. Are you saying you've never heard of a curtain wall construction? Applied masonry on skyscrapers has the exception to the rule for decades since curtain walls are so much quicker to construct, easier for maintenance, and thus cheaper all the way around.

For those looking for this, the first setback occurs exactly 9 floors above the second mechanical floor which has just been completed so we are probably 6 floors away from the first setback.

Going back to the pics from Nov 2, it looks like they are still on track completing roughly 5 floors a month.

Glass on the northern side of the building is now visible from Central Park (Dec 8th)

How apropos.... |
Heavenly.
I wonder how much the window cleaners are going to hate those branches across the glass. Also - I hope at night the side facade looks "real" (as in not just glass covering a blank wall). |
^ From what we've seen so far, I think it will be fine.
