More issues with glazing/fritting alignment.

Unfortunate to see they aren’t using the same glass in this part of the podium. I hope that’s not the final look.

I believe those are louvres for a mechanical space...

I thought they fixed the 2nd row then I realized they added a third row in my sleep.
I guess they will be popping out the glass panels out at some later date.

The sun is a little at 2:10

One panorama and 3 pictures of the cloudy eclipse at totality. Very cold but very cool path of darkness.

It's a shame the eclipse didn't hide the Daniels horror show.

Just now. More glazing visible.

...that big blackened splotch on the clouds over the lake is likely the umbra of the said eclipse. A weird effect of what happens when the shadow of something very big is cast by a much, much larger light source to which cuts a much "tinier" path...and you can pretty much see that in full from mburrrrr-san's panoramic there, goodness!

I'm really liking the glass on this one. It's got a nice darkness to it. We need more dark colours to offset the sea of blue and green in the skyline.

Why did Hariri Pontarini’s heart sink when he saw the misaligned fritted glass panels?

Because his flagship project became a ‘pane’ in the glass!

Edit: on a serious note though, I'm dumfounded how they could carry on with the installation after the first misaligned panel.

Technically speaking the glass doesn’t need to align as the panes cane always be swapped at a later date without issue.

the concern though is all panes have a specific section they are made for. Panel “A1” to section “A1” type concept and the installers are not following said plan or the shop isn’t assembling the panels to said plans.

Either way, it’s a very basic concern and really nothing to be alarmed about.

 

[whatever]

Well, no, it's not just "pop it out". Those look like they're four-sided structural glazed, so it's actually a bit of a process to hack them out, clean up the glass, flip it, and reglaze. Not the kind of thing you want to do any more than you absolutely have to.

And I'd be more worried if the frames are different widths. Then your module is off and you're seriously boned. Sometimes the frames have extra reinforcement at certain locations, too. They're not really completely interchangeable

It's a beautiful sunny day and I thought it would be nice to have an update picture from my balcony.
