They are only going to be in the notches (like the one pictured) and rumor has it the crown will make extensive use of them. Somewhere in the last 352 pages there is a drawing of the tower that refers to the triangles at the top as 'lanterns' or 'torches' (don't remember which it was).

Lanterns

Amazingly, it looks like those yellow beams will remain yellow.

Will be almost impossible to paint them now that the glass is being attached.

True, but I'm sure there is food reason, we just aren't privy.

[Urbanized]

Almost everything I do is for a food reason. That's why I'm such a fatty.

[kevinpate]

rumor has it that food is the number two reason for having privy access.

That's food for thought.

Links for those on mobiles...

Thanks as always, Will.

Looks like they are really trying to get busy on the remaining glass because they can't take the cranes down until that work is done and they can't move people in until the cranes are down.

Considering they are planning to start moving people in about 6-8 weeks, I bet we see the glass work completely finished in the next few weeks.

Someone who's not lazy and has a good camera should take some Dust Bowl photos of downtown...

North crown, 1/20 (today):


Almost there on the North side!!!

Pete Brzycki, how come the glass of the crown on your profile picture look different than what it is looks like now?

One interesting aspect about the glass going in on the three triangles: it's all clear, unlike the rest of the building that has opaque bands to conceal the concrete floors and some of the mechanical.

So, as we've discussed somewhat, I'm sure these areas are going to have absolute boatloads of lights.

Can't wait to see when this all comes together.

We are so close! If only the window company could keep up with construction it would be done by now.

[Romulack]

So what happens if both cranes have just been dismantled, and one of the big windows near the top of the tower gets broken? (Space junk, meteorite, bigass hail, airline sewage, etc.) How would they get a new window up there?

[lasomeday]

They are putting the final level of windows in on the northside.

[Pete]

If a window broke, they would just replace the pane from inside the building or via the window-washing rigs that will be lowered from the roof.

Wow.
When driving south on I-44 over I-40 at about 4PM today, the glass in the triangle on the SW side reflected the sun like a lantern, or the sun itself...it was seriously bright.
Would have taken an awesome photo, if I wasn't driving.

Is that a real unaltered picture?

Reminds me of this:

I didn't take it, but I'm pretty sure it is.
