because the BoA tower is going to be taller than the channel 4 tower, are they going to move all the broadcasting hardware over, otherwise tv signals are really going to suck for some of those people.

2. Is the concrete core a security measure or just because it makes stronger towers (out here everything is concrete)

Other than that i think the facade looks ok. But i havent seen it in the sun and theres a huge difference between how a facade looks in the shade and how it looks in the sun.
