P.S. hope you don't mind if I re-post this in the Canada section.

Heh, I'm keeping myself quite amused in that thread and yeah, this one will be amazing when lit up at night.

One could argue that there is actually no twist on this building as all four sides still face the same way from bottom to top.

Your idea and my idea of what a twisted skyscraper is are two different things then - my idea of a twisted tower is one in which the exterior windows and walls change angles as one moves upward in the building, TELUS Sky does not do this.

A twisted skyscraper...

Agreed. Another is Calatrava's design in Oslo.

A perfect location for a web cam for Telus Sky: the southwest corner of the Bow roof.

Technical term of a "twist" aside, I think this building is gonna be great!
And yeah, I'm surprised there's still no webcam as this construction is more exciting than, say, Brookfield, which is just watching a rectangle slowly get bigger.
At least with this one there is an interesting shape
