I've been watching the curtain wall go up on 2nd, and it has the same pattern as the curtain wall on Jefferson. I reserve the right to change my opinion, but I don't see how this isn't going to look...prison like. I'm afraid it's going to be much to busy and uninviting.

I'll try and get pictures next week.

Update from 11-19-2011: Looks like the north side facade will be just unadorned glass.

I think that the aluminum rods look a lot better in real life than they do in the rendering.

Hmm, I typically don't like sheer monolithic curtain walls like this. But combined with the 3 other more intricately detailed facades, it kinda works.

I kinda like it. I think they could have chosen a better design but this one looks cool and modern

I like this side a lot, but I fear the west side of the building is turning out to be hideous. I hope I'm wrong.

Here is a link to a 3D Sketchup model I made of the building

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehou...47&prevstart=0

It isn't the most detailed model, but I think it is still cool.
