Shangri-La's Holographic squares change colour in sunlight!

I noticed a fascinating effect in the holographic squares on Shangri-La. Standing at West Georgia and Thurlow at 8:45 a.m. across from the Teresan building, with part of the glassed in tower in sunlight and part in shade, the squares in sunlight emitted in red colour, while the squares in the shade remained green.

With some sunny weather now, if someone could photograph this sunlight/shade red/green colour effect in those holographic squares and post it here that would be great. Only at this time of the year with the Sun rising at a more northerly angle are we seeing the effect on that corner as those two sides of the tower are where the squares are.

Look for it yourself tommorow at that corner sometime around 8:45 a.m.

Sounds like these little squares really add some life to the building. That's great!

Weird, I noticed that same thing this morning on the same corner at what was actually almost exactly 8:45am plus or minus a few minutes. We probably walked right past eachother at some point. I found the effect rather interesting as well. I hope these panels have a few more tricks up their sleeves (like lighting up at night once the building is complete).
