Most of the red metal has been scrapped for dark grey, and the curtain wall has been replaced with this almost checkered metal/glasswall. I still have high hopes with this one due to the architects reputation but it looks like the only other metal is going to be the NW corner.
Here's a link to the 3D model that's actually quite well done:

Thanks for that. I hadn't seen it before.
I agree with Nouvellecosse in that the copper-toned sections were the best part of it. I also liked the contrast with the white-ish tones of the sandstone (in the renderings, which probably wasn't realistic anyhow) and that was what made the building design stand out in my opinion - but especially the copper (Muntz Metal).
While the overall design is still interesting, it looks a lot more drab than I was expecting, and thus is somewhat disappointing.
Hopefully it will still be attractive when it's finished, but IMHO the reddish copper tones would have been much nicer. Oh well.
