....not to mention, walls with that level of greenery will likely takes years to establish, especially with our long and harsh winters seasons, I gather.

Vines are doing well on the west side, not so well on the other sides.

haven't seen much action happening on site for the last few weeks, I live across the street...Not trying to bump this thread just ‘cause but curious as to progress since the last photo dump on the 8th…
I think only the first floor is done, albeit partiallyIt’s a beautiful structure but I wouldn’t mind to see it get dressed at some point.
Glass blocks, also known as glass bricks (not cubes) has been around since the early 1900, and has been used in many notable buildings through the ages, particularly during the Bauhaus movement of the 20s and 30s that still look timeless today.Those glass cubes are going to age horribly, they are very 1980s, I'm sure all of you have seen old post-war buildings using them
Idk about that. For one, the buildings these used to go into aren't covered in glass blocks, and it's rarely the blocks themselves on said old buildings that ages poorly- it's other materials like brick or outdated interiors. If anything, they're just dated as a window style. They actually seem to hold up pretty well compared to other kinds of glass, given they still exist in many 70s-80s buildings and look fine.Those glass cubes are going to age horribly, they are very 1980s, I'm sure all of you have seen old post-war buildings using them
That’s silly to forever confine a material to a certain time period. Guess they should have used grey spandrel glass on this too?Those glass cubes are going to age horribly, they are very 1980s, I'm sure all of you have seen old post-war buildings using them
