Seconded. Keep it up. If someone doesn't like it, they can scroll past.

You have such a great view of the project, RDW. Thanks for posting. The floorplate on these towers looks so tiny.

Lots of action in that
I missed capturing another crane lift. I'll have the camera rolling (when I'm out) for next little while, maybe crane no. 2 will be on the rise soon.
Today 5:32pm to 6:39pm

I'm really annoyed by how they changed the scoop-outs at the base to the latest triangulated pattern, which is way too loud and undermines the geometry of the scoops. Much preferred the old design, which related better to the curved outline. Wasn't the original concept something akin to organ pipes as a reference to the attached church?

Here's what the model shows.
I'm not sure why the slab edge is zig-zagged in the construction pics.
Could be for the post-tension cabling and then they'll be smoothed out (but the lowerest level looks finsihed with the zig-zag.

Seems like they dumped those curved vision glass for a lattice with that zig-zag cut out. Personally I prefer the new version.

A few of my pixs since Friday


A close-up of working on the — I am guessing — 9th floor, Oct 29
[IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/2mFVy6W]

From Nelson and Burrard, Nov 1
[IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/2mFRhQQ]

From above, Nov 1 — preparing for the 10th floor?
[IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/2mFWF48]

And while the building is already a presence if I stand at the window, even from my sitting position, rebar is poking through — and the view will change dramatically over the next few months, Oct 31

Thanks.
At least you have the view to the south (and The Butterfly will be a pretty nice looking building).

From your excellent image, they're setting up table-forms for the 12th floor.

Flying tables for the 12th floor today.
