So much talk about the color of the glass, im going to try to put this discussion to bed at the risk of being wrong.
Different sections of the building have entirely different glass.
I know, that's totally what it looks like but i think it's just a trick of changing hue and light/shadow? unless they decided to make the base green and the top blue which i hope is not the case.

Yeah, this is my understanding as well. The color/hue will remain the same, but the tint/shade will change based on the undulating of the building.

The lease in my apartment is up soon and I won't see this building on a regular basis so im hoping the crew keeps installing at this pace or faster and we get huge chunks of finished walls.

Shitty iPhone zoom + Instagram story overlay, but the transition is pretty clear. Also, definitely get the impression the hue leans quite a bit more more blue-teal than blue-green, green.
If the difference is that noticeable between adjacent grades of shade, the glass scheme is going to have a really pronounced effect of pulsing and oscillating.
Some glass. I tried not to mess with the colors, too much, but between different computer monitors, white balance levels, varying cloud coverage, and small color adjustments, it's almost impossible to depict any one color exactly as one would see it in person. That said, to my eye it seems to skew more blue than green.
I can't stop staring at that last photo. The angles and reflections... I can't wait to see that same shot when that whole area is fully glassed. Thank you for the stunning photos.
Since this project's schedule is already completely out of whack, I wish they had gone all the way up with spandrel glass and left the rest bare. That would have made for some very interesting shots like the last one Nick provided. Beautiful images, as always.
