    My recollection is that the museum is going to have metallic contrasts on the various roof elements (dome, angled skylights, other raised section of the roof, etc.). Recalling the Ismaili centre building, the contrasts are really in the glass, IE large angled glass over the social hall, the...

    The most recent photos showed continued work on the theatre dome and the other portion that is somewhat elevated above the primary roof-line. Those are the areas where there is a different type of cladding. Has it progressed to where we can see some of the final materials on these areas?

    Is that sandstone? I'm not sure if that is the final material or not. I like the wood-like beams over the top. See: https://picasaweb.google.com/104846363423995421569/AgaKhanWynfordParkConstructionProjects19#5767914520326419906 The cladding on most of the ismaili centre (foreground) looks...

    I don't think this white looks like sandstone at all. Consider the museum's white: https://picasaweb.google.com/104846363423995421569/AgaKhanWynfordParkConstructionProjects19#5767926369561082066 with the Vancouver Ismaili Centre's sandstone...

    In this recent picture (from JB's flickr stream) it looks like there is another layer of material being applied to the theatre dome: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cobby17/7458069888/sizes/k/in/photostream/ Also looks like the cladding around the corners / edges of the angled steel lattice /...

    The museum web-site has listed a 2013 opening for some time now, but does not provide any more granularity than that. Given the high profile groundbreaking ceremony, I'd speculate that it may depend on alignment of some busy schedules, in addition to everything being ready.

    Quite a large set (101 images) of recent construction pictures by someone named Mehdi Esmail. While from far away it looks like it is getting close, the close in pictures here show many details still being worked...

    I'll be the first to admit I'm very interested in the Aga Khan's visit, however, in context of this thread, we really should try to keep it to construction and directly related aspect of the project. There will most certainly be specific aspects of the project that will need to be ready for the...
