Some from today. I think the sunset created a bit of a bronze look on the spandrels mullions (thanks @drcastro), not sure actual color. In either case - it's going to look incredible when done.

Also, does anyone know how these spaces will be treated? I'm guessing column will be clad and that material will stretch to the curtain wall - eliminating the gap. On the other hand, if that were the case, why would there be vision glass paralleling the column?
From other angles, it looks like the columns will be clad in a satin metal, square column wraps with a reveal running up each side. It does look like they kept that perforated metal skirt around the soffit, but moved the hemline up 3 floors to show a little more leg. I like the change, the taller expressed columns make the base feel a bit more grand and soaring.

Looks like they decided to pull those seven western and eastern columns out so they’re even with the floors above, thus eliminating the small cantilever above the fifth(?) floor.
Ha, thanks! Af first I had the boat fully masked out so it was totally over the background ice, but I thought a low opacity blend was more appropriate.
