From yesterday.

Great update

goschio · February 7th, 2012, 11:31 PM

Really like the transparent outcome of the facade. Hope the atrium facade will be similar or even more transparent so we can see the spiral sculpture and the two towers remain visually separate.

derUlukai · February 8th, 2012, 03:09 AM

thanks for the update tom!
too bad the towers won`t be about 30meters higher, so they`ll look rather fat and compact, especially on a -otherwise stunning - perspective like the last pic..
in contrast to goschio i think the fascades are rather reclecting (only the - later - inner parts of the northern tower seem to be more transparent), but i also hope that there will be a clearly visible difference between the cladding of the atrium compared to the fascade of the towers themselves.

is the part of the facade which is concrete the stari case? how tall is it now? go frankfurt!

Joka · February 8th, 2012, 10:12 AM

Btw, Are they going to relocate the iconic 12-stars sculpture to the new location?

Tom_Green · February 8th, 2012, 10:13 PM

Anyone know how public the skyscraper will be? Can a normal person visit the atrium?

read an article, saying the sculpture does -not- belong to the ecb and they have no great interest in it anyway. it will propably be 'thrown away' thereafter.

il fenomeno · February 8th, 2012, 10:56 PM

Joka · February 8th, 2012, 11:31 PM

That middle part will also be sealed by glass, right?

cardiac86 · February 19th, 2012, 03:17 PM

Yes.
