Looks like a crane lift today.
Homer is blocked off.

Also, there's some glass on the podium (Georgia side), sorry, no pics.

Pics by me today:

The 4th level of perforated metal is up on a cube - so I guess the vines will climb up rather than hang down.

Yes!

This is exciting! The concept is coming together really well. Very cool.

A much grander presence than I imagined.

This is turning out great. Can't wait to see in person. The street presence on this one is going to be cool!

Very cool recap! Having that area in front of the library looks to be the perfect spot to document the progress. Nice work.

The more I think about this building. The more I'm not sure.

In many ways I love it, its unique and new for the core.

In other ways, its kind of coming out like a jumbled mess of cubes.

But - were only halfway there, lets see what its like with full finished form and lighting, street level, etc.

Thanks. What I miss though is having access to the library rooftop. Haven't seen that angle since Feb/March.
