What’s so special about this cladding? Isn’t it just glass?

I just assumed everyone meant the lack of spandrels, the quality of the glass, and the overall clean design. ...and from reading this forum for a while, ...emphasis on the spandrels.
I put myself in the category or being pleasantly surprised at the quality. I'm not a fan of the overall design of the building, especially the width near the base, but cheap cladding would've really made it worse.

It would be a lot harder to hide this tower due to its size and girth if the cladding went pear shape than The Aura currently.

No, don't kid yourself, those are good images. I've taken far worse over the years with lens flares, fingers and maybe a view with my cracked phone lens creating...some effects.

A loose rule to go by is approximately 1 floor per week.

They are very big floor plates.
