There are so many design flaws in this project, BUT: it is turning out better than I could have hoped for . . . visually much better from the main viewing angles.

Agreed, far from perfect, but overall it has had a positive impact on the aesthetics of the skyline, viewed both near and far.

Are we sure there is a LED stripe hidden in the south facade? God that spandrel up on top is so atrocious.

There was some kind of vertical lighting up the south side with lights mounted on the wall.

You've seen this? And was it something entirely different than the blue LED strip seemingly depicted in many of the renderings (but for which there is yet no evidence)?

I do remember the comment few pages back and it was totally credible. I just fail to see anything being embedded on the upclose shots of the white spine seen above.

I did a manual search through the Shangri-La thread (going back almost 14 years!) and this is the first reference that I could find by towerguy3 to an "orange vested guy".
