Nice...even though id like to see some stone, precast, brick, somewhere in between all that glass.

Bright Lights - Big City:

Nice, though the quality of the glass seems to be one step below Four Seasons (both the Hotel and the Opera House).

If your referring to the podium I would agree. For the highrise portion however, the cladding for both appears to be of similar quality.

Both actually - I've noticed that there are more distortion in the glass used at Shangri-La; Four Seasons looks as close to optically perfect as I have ever seen.

Interesting, I'll have to take another close up look at them, on the same day.

I dont think you have to get close-up to realize that.

By 'close up' I mean in person. Do you compare buildings by photographs alone?

Not really, by just passing/driving by..you dont have to be a rocket scientist.

 

[vegeta_skyline]

Yes, passing/driving by qualifies as 'in person/close up'.

Not sure where your getting this rocket scientist stuff from. Did you think I meant I was going to walk up to the facade of each building and examine them with a microscope?

LOL..No, i just thought by now its pretty obvious.

Maybe if you live/work downtown and have lots of opportunity's to see the buildings in person, than yes. I don't, although I do drive a train through downtown several times a day, most buildings are out of range or only visible for a moment and from a distance. So I don't get many opportunities to see the buildings in question up close. Also the cladding on the 4 Season's is less reflective in most conditions so any distortions in the glass would be less evident.

vegeta i just realized your signature has "communters" instead of "commuters" not trying to nitpick just figured i would point it out in case u didn't notice.

As impatient as i am to see the shang finished, is anyone else feeling like they are going to miss the pink construction cladding? i know i will
