Looking great! But I thought it would look skinnier.

muppet · #**222** Posted **Jan 7, 2009, 7:57 AM**

It looks skinnier depending on the angle you look at it. As you approach the thing it will slim down considerably:

wide

thinner

teensy

Ive just noticed too the open air viewing platform on the roof:

Here's a different rendering of the roof that appeared on SSC (I don't know whether this one or the one posted by muppet is the final design):

Just this small balustrade at 454m?

[SP]Neo · #**226** Posted **Jan 7, 2009, 8:22 PM**

even at 15m this balustrade would be too small^^ but i like the idea of the open air space.

I like what I see so far, I hope they keep the rooftop open as in the renderings. Although it could become a prime destination for laid off factory workers looking for an easy way out.

I'm sure a taller fence at the top is in order

Bergenser · #**231** Posted **Jan 11, 2009, 5:29 PM**

It looks Freaking good in that picture.

Woah! Looks amazing! When will they start painting/covering the columns so that they looks shiny and cool?

Stu · #**237** Posted **Feb 26, 2009, 1:49 PM**

Has it been confirmed they will paint the columns? Seems excessive/ not worth it.

muppet · #**238** Posted **Feb 26, 2009, 5:47 PM**

I don't think they'll paint them, just clean them from the construction grit.

The only way to keep that tower shiny would be to hire an army of cleaners that continously battle the buildup of dirt from smog and pollution.

Indescribable · #**240** Posted **Feb 27, 2009, 1:36 AM**

It sure is gritty.
