Nice to see that the facade still looks distinctive from far away.

Every year it seems like the Century Plaza gets smaller and smaller

When I was young it really stood out on Burrard for how tall it was

Pretty soon they'll have to call it the Decade Plaza

I think I mentioned this before, but with all the wavey panels, the cylinderical shape of the towers is getting lost in the pattern busyness when viewed from a distance.

You can see that in my pic above, and in this pic.
Without the panels, you can see the slab edge forming curves, with the wavey panels, the crevice between the cylinders disappears.
i.e. straight panels curving around the cylinders would have better highlighted the 'organ pipes'.

This is probably the nicest skyscraper/highrise ever built in this city, I have no idea why no one outside of this forum seems to care or notice.

Agreed, this is an absolute showstopper! Great location as well to stand out in the pack. The juxtapose with the church is just icing on the cake.

Even more icing on the cake is that it came from a local architectural firm.

on my commute to work the other day I saw three panels on a truck making its way down hwy 1. How many do they install a day? It looks like they can only transport three at a time.
