Add me to the glass campaign. I would however, like to see the tower remain white.
You can either do this:
Frosted glass
or you can do this:
sticker or etched pattern
Either one would leave the tower white on a much more reliable, inexpensive and easy to maintain cladding.
EDIT: The more I think about it, the more the etching makes the most sense. Buying a laser etching machine would fall under $5,000, pennies for Brookfield. They can then get regular glass panels and one by one, etch them on their new etcher, perhaps with a nice pattern. From far away, the building would appear white but up close, you could see a beautiful pattern.
Patterns could be: diamonds, waves, circles, Brookfield's logo (hard to sell the tower in the future) or anything interesting.
Pretty cost effective solution if you plan on replacing all those marble slabs.
