Thanks for the Information,

Operater,

I happened to be right in the area of the Royal again yesterday, so I took a few more pics.

We won’t get the look of the building until more spandrel, but so far so good.

Looked up glorious sloth, and was not disappointed:

One of the most exciting components of this project is the new park space to be relocated to the western corner.

Hopefully the design is urban leaning, taking advantage of cafe beano and the lively cafe culture of central beltline

Glass going up on the retail portion.

Video of the glass going up. Not exactly an action thriller, but some might find it interesting.

Another video. This time a time lapse type video of a section of window wall being installed.

Well that's disappointing. Half of it will be spandrel. Mucks up the clean and transparent look illustrated in the renderings.

Never get suckered by a rendering.

Never get suckered by a rendering.

Yep, the only thing renderings can be relied on is for generalities like scale, massing, layout etc. Everything aesthetic, from color to materials to glass transparency, is a crapshoot.

A rendering is a marketing tool and nothing else. It's the equivalent of the perfectly styled burger in a fast food commercial.

I like how the one guy is booting into place with his foot lol. Clearly not an exact science.

Booting window wall into position is an important credit in the 3 year course.
