Perhaps the thickness has more to do with train derailments than acoustics?

The gap, between the residential glazing and the reverse sloped canopy roof at the sky deck, is covered with a clear glass skylite covering the entire width and length of the gap. The skylite is heated and slightly sloped to melt snow and run off the water. The gap (with the clear glass)...

Unless I'm mistaken, Scotia Plaza granite is located on the lower floors only and transitions to vitrious enamel at a point somewhere up the tower where the naked eye cannot perceive the change (cheapening) of materials from street level. If true, this would add to your ascertian SP cladding is...

Each storey on south side extends 168 millimetres out from the storey below. The angle works out to be about 6 degrees! By the 51st storey, the building will be 4.5 metres wider than at the 26th storey. Standing in front of the glass does not create a sense of angle (perhaps because glass...

Thanks RS. The slant is just starting now to become a bit ominous from directly below. With 9-floors still to pour I think it's fair to say the slant is a significant structural feat in a thin 53-storey building. With about 25-cantilevered storeys of dead loads and live loads bearing down, I...
