    Sounds like he's the only one who wasn't doing something naughty...

    Note that the floorplates here are faceted to fit the curtain wall.

    Beautiful. It's a shame that this tower did not have some sort of diamond-inspired crown though.

    It's very refreshing to see someone use glass in such a beautifully constructive way, rather than
    just slapping it up in the cheapest manner possible!

    The curtainwall is a nice touch on an otherwise drab box. Can't wait to see this baby shimmer after completion.

    Nice, should illuminate an otherwise dark and brown streetscape.

    I's always good to see such a pleasant surprise, like this building.

    I'm pretty sure it's already been asked, but what's the history on that mansard roofed "Hotel at Times Square" next door at 59W 46th?

    On the website there is a section titled construction photos; a lot of 'close-up' photos - including some parts of the curtain wall. Go to 'Project Gallery' then sub-menu 'construction photos'. NICE.

    In the photo set, Winter 2011, photos #17 - #20 have the best detail shots of those intricate glass panels.

    And, something 'special' here - http://www.internationalgemtower.com...ts/press/Vogue IGT photo shoot 2011.pdf
    OR, go to 'News & Events' see Vogue photo shoot. HOT.
