Just noticed on the left hand side of the last pic that the Core has changed and gotten thinner at the edges... looks odd but im sure it will all fit together nicely

so to speak.. o.O

Skyscrapercitizen · March 26th, 2007, 08:47 PM

Yes the construction of the core has changed, became more slender now.

Can't wait for the facade, but on the other hand this concrete monster is impressive too!

Dubai Spacescraper · March 27th, 2007, 07:34 PM

Can anyone tell me why they won't clad this thing? It looks like the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang. When will it look usable?

Ember-To-Ashes · March 27th, 2007, 08:18 PM
