sorry i havent been able to read all 2000 of the posts in the former thread, but is the function of the "screens" on the facade to block sunlight for workers inside? i think the uncovered parts of this building look pretty badass.
Awesome shots!!! Just a quick ots question (may have already been covered). Does it usually take so long to finish this portion of the construction (adding spire)? Or was the building just now topped?
