I understand it's a curtain wall and glass-faced spandrel panels, but hecks sake, make it at least bronze or beige. Or fluorescent red or something fun. Metallic gold would have been nice.
It was supposed to be bronze, as per the plans approved by the City. Not sure what happened. Oh wait, what always happens; value-engineer after approval.

At least it's cool at night with different colours shining through from the interior, not unlike the Convention Centre.
