Since the upper portion of the building is a hotel and the lighting will be different as oppose to the office portion; how will that affect the lighting of the entire building?
Will the exterior lighting of the entire building allow for the building to appear as one structure or will the difference in lighting from the interior of the building make the building appear as two separate and distinct structures? From the east and west views of the city this will not be as much of a problems from them the north and south which has the most expanded of the skyline it can have an affect that will be pretty interesting!

The CTC is still under construction and we can assume that all of the lighting has not been installed. Construction begins at the bottom on up. When completed, being that the upper portion of the tower is a hotel, it will be a 24 hour operation, so at night it's likely that the hotel (upper portion) of the skyscraper will be brighter. I assume for the Comcast end, office hours for the most part will be 9a-5p. Although I love beautifully lit skyscrapers at night, keep in mind the CTC serves a utility purpose above all, aesthetics is a plus, let's not equate it to a Xmas tree.
