Thanks for the pics. Looks like we're just about half way until topping out.
It looks like they're pouring the 23rd floor, so the structure is indeed half way there!

One can call any rip-off a tribute and any tribute, a rip-off. Tributes though may tend to not be so direct a copy.
Additionally, I think that the difference lies in whether the artist claims that it is his own original work or whether he claims that he was inspired by someone else's work.
Clewes openly admits that he was inspired by Mies' TD Centre. That makes it a direct tribute. If he had claimed that the idea of a sleek black box just came to him in a dream, then I'd call it a rip-off.
