cant wait to see glass on the crown, will be some what of a make or break moment with aura
 
To see a small spaceframe holding up the crown seems precarious after all those concrete floors, but the engineers must have designed it to withstand heavy winds. Hopefully, it'll stand the test of time and won't have to be repaired after 50 years, when the condo board would be tempted to simply junk it.
 
There's nothing small or weak about the sell frame, especially not when seen up close;

And certainly they wouldn't engineer something that in the event of failure would pose such a serious safety hazard. It's no less sound(and flimsy looking from a distance) than the steel crowns of any recent skyscraper.

Excellent. Hopefully, these features will stay intact over the lives of these towers, unlike the balustrades and turrets along the roofs of Victorian buildings that were typicallly removed after a few decades.
 
At first I thought this tower would be an embarrassment when I saw the lower section's cladding and unremarkable mall, but it's a solid 7.5/10. Architectural lighting will make it even more likable.
 
From Yesterday wile visiting the city for some events.
