Came across this by accident on the World Architecture Festival website and whoa! very impressive. is that height achievable there? architects are IBI, Nick Milkovich and Chris Doray.
In the first photo, what is the building with the slight curves to the right? At first I thought that was a photo of Beijing's CBD as that tower looks similar to China's World Trade Centre Tower

That would be another future tower further East on the block by Westbank (same height); though I'm unsure if there is actually a concept for that one or if the shape is simply a placeholder...
These towers just keep getting more incredible!!!

Its certainly not "on the park" though it would create some horrendous shading on it.
This building would only cast a shadow over the park before 10am. Nothing to worry about but this and the neighbouring tower will certainly block lots of views from Patina building.

Very pretty.
I enjoy the pixel cloud ceiling pool. That feature might need some extra attention to execute well. If it's outdoor it might be a pain to clean, but they could offset that with hanging gardens.

Yes!! That metallic woven piece on top requires a close-up examination, IMO, as well as the building, of course.
...err, ... and tweak wherever necessary*
A friend lives in one of those buildings on that site and all the rents are ending in December!!! Looks like they will be clearing them down shortly afterwards. Like old like the tenants knew already these building were getting demolished

I feel badly for the long-time residents who will be forced to find somewhere else to live.
