Have you seen any updated diagrams with revisions from floor 7 and above that make the diagram you originally posted and i have been reposting not as accurate today.
I haven't seen them, but they have been filed with the DOB (buildings dept.)
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Double-height floor 7 has been formed, perimeter beam reinforcement has been placed on the east (Park Avenue), west (Madison Avenue), and south (E. 56 St) sides. Floor reinforcement continues to be placed, as well as column reinfocement for the next double-height floor level 8.
The 56 St. crane has just jumped again, with two additional tower sections placed. Workers below have completed tying together what I believe will be the beam reinforcement for the north (57 St) side. The blue spreader beam rests atop the completed beam reinforcement, awaiting being lifted. Since this needs to be raised above the just-raised core, the 56 St. crane had to be jumped for lift clearance for the beam reinforcement above the core.
Addition
Question: has anyone seen the 57 St (north) side beam reinforcement already placed? If so (and looking at the current scene, it probably has, since column rebar has already been placed, and typically, the beam reinforcement was usually installed before column rebar), perhaps someone saw it being placed. I was out of the country for a week, so I most likely missed it. Correct me if wrong.
Addition
My question has been answered. That beam reinforcement for the 57 St side was already placed, as evidenced by the pour that has been taking place today, and by the fact that one column rebar cage stands on the 57 St. side. As pouring continues, the 57St crane decided it was time to grow along with the building. Workers unbolt the slewing ring from the tower section it currently sits on, while a new tower section is in place on the trolley beam, waiting for the climbing frame, slewing ring and crane rises to allow it to be slid into position under the slewing ring of the crane. On the hook, hangs another tower section, and the crane has boomed out enough so the hanging weight balances the crane in a state of equilibrium before the climbing frame is raised. With the new section slid in place under the crane, workers bolt the new section atop the previous section.Judging from the sideways position of the tower section hanging from the hook, I am guessing that only one section may go in today on this crane. Two went in on the 56 St. crane today.
They poured the white concrete along the entire perimeter of floor 7 today and installed several column rebar cages. The main floor should be poured tomorrow and some of the forms lifted.

Seem's weird, but I'll go with it,, I have no Idea, just looks awful similair to the bldg

This is a picture of the World Trade Center Memorial in its early days of construction - notice the exact same bed structures in the bottom left of the photograph, where the trees are to be planted

Its a conspiracy man, the government did it. In other not moronic observations, these windows for the rich dwellers of this building are huge and will offer fucking unprecedented views.

I thought before that they placed the forms manually, but always seems that they magically appeared, you never saw the workers installing it, so I suspected, but until now I wasn't sure, if they were lifting the forms mechanically. Today I could make a secuency of the forms slowly being raised. Does somebody can make an animated GIF with the pictures?
And BTW it is not just the forms, but the eentire scaffolding that is being lifted.

Somebody in SSC already did, thanks to Prins in SSC.
(edit) Thanks to you too, xnyr, You posted your GIF just when I was writing this post.
You're welcome - you provided the source material and it was a good exercise to do something I'd never done before... Now, if I could figure out how to make it larger like the one you found.
