Curtainwall installation has started. Just a couple frames up so far. The glass block looks neat

@Red Mars must be dispatched immediately to document this moment!

But in case he's taking the day off, @AHK is nearby.

Curtainwall/Glazing
This took a deep dive (2nd time around) and a deep zoom.
Don't take any offense...The guys in charge of the entrances (3) did not understand my English.
I did find someone who told me that the Curtainwall/glass/glazing was going up at the back end of the garage entrance.
As well, the retaining wall is being dismantled.

A second set of photos will follow as I did a walk around earlier

Not sure if the windows are technically curtain-wall given the architectural design. In the renderings they look more like large "punched" windows set in place.
 
It's curtainwall. Look directly above the installed frames. You can see the pockets for the curtainwall anchors right on the edge of slab.

Now, whether curtainwall makes sense in this application is a whole other question. But those are curtainwall frames.

Those sections of glass blocks must be so heavy!
