on the step 10 diagram you can see 9 lateral sections to the spire. As of yesterday 6 were installed.
Comparing the current build to the original renderings there are several subtle yet critical improvements. The extra floor added to the glass elevator shafts does SO much to drive home the "neo art deco" thing foster seems to be going for. It really helps transition the massive width of the building to the spire. Speaking of width, the spire seems almost twice as wide as the render...and i think that also helps the transition. I always liked the building design...but, like many on here, i thought it needed more height and more narrowing steps to slim it up. The little design changes in the finished product are really helping with that. The original design reminded me of Mcnabb (and not just cuz they featured him in the renders). The building teased of iconic greatness but frustrated in the ways it fell short. Now in the 11th hour as CTC takes it's final form could it be some measure of greatness is realized after all?! Is this the Wentz effect?
