Thanks.
Can't even remember all those cantilevered beams now!
I still wish the white panel faces had some reflectivity to them, or were darker in colour.

Won't those eventually be covered in plants?

In theory, yes, but somehow I doubt it will end up as planned.
Even the new plants at the Telus Garden alley have not flourished.

I guess they'll have more sunlight on this corner vs the Telus alley.

somebody posted a pic of this building in a photography group on Facebook and most of the comments seemed to hate it, they said it looked awful, it was ruining Architecture in Vancouver, it looked like a rubiks cube, it needed more colours. But those that liked it really liked it.

Its looking good now, it was a little confusing for a while lol.

The hoarding along Georgia is gone now and you can get a better look at the base.

This part of the city reminds me of London now with this and The Post directly across from it.
