Cool GIF, thanks.

Thanks for the shots, McMinsen!

It looks like the segments slide into each other and they are suspended during installation from the rooftop scaffolds.

Wish the Xs stayed yellow. That would be cool. Thanks for the update, OfficeDweller.

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought they were yellow until I looked more closely.

I think the final white Xs will contrast nicely with the dark glass.

Agreed and will be more subtle than the yellow!

Also, yellow paint would have quickly faded.

The Xs look great! Adds a ton of texture to the skyline.

They certainly are spending a lot of time and i'll assume money on something that will only be removed in a couple of years. The noise, the obstructed views, the broken windows, muliple people thinking they can climb it. etc etc

Obviously they are putting it up just so we can hear your critique about it.

Nah, it's probably required under the development permit for sun shading and they'll have to spend megabucks if it falls into disrepair (like a tree on the roof).

I was trying to think of which condo towers have similar significant louvres or sun shades.
The oldest I could think of was The Pointe (next to the old Westcoast Energy Building), Telus Garden condo (though they are not that prominent), Woodward's (trellises) and the new Cardero condo tower. Any others?
