These photos make me ponder if someone hypothetically did a running jump from Benito's balcony would they hit the pool....

Great place to see a 100 story mix tower that is nor an square box
with some real brick and stone work. as well not using the balconies to shape the build.

That next floor on the tower is really going to give a sense of scale to that ground floor space. The concrete they've just poured around the columns looks stubby, but that's only because of how enormous the ground floor is.

When will it be decided if this building will remain at approximately 309m versus allowing the height increase application to the 339m range? Thanks.

Hell! It seems that they have only one form for the super columns (moving it around after each pour cures) and it only partially covers them when filled. At this rate the building should be finished by, hmmm, 2033?

The concrete of the column is actually poured to the underside of the 3rd floor. You can see the 3rd floor joints in the big steel bracing back to the center. It is hard to notice due to the complex construction and scale, but that pour is 1 floor (2nd floor).

If one look closely at my photos, you will see a truss system being frame for the 3rd floor and the large tube brace attaching to the bottom of the truss frame. The floor framing will change starting with the 4th floor.
For some reasons, my photos where out of focus, not clear or sharp not only this project, but most of the ones I shot that day. I will post this photo that I am not happy with of the bracing meeting the bottom of the truss even though it up on my site with a bunch of other shots.

The engineering here is like the mRNA vaccines. I trust it but it's giving me anxiety.

Today’s update. You can clearly see the outline of the pool that they are setting up on the roof of the podium.

Is what you are talking about not the fourth floor framing?If one look closely at my photos, you will see a truss system being frame for the 3rd floor and the large tube brace attaching to the bottom of the truss frame. The floor framing will change starting with the 4th floor.

If you look at skycandy's photos below you notice that the floor forms for the 3rd floor are at the top of the poured column concrete.
Also, in this one below (thaivic)
you can notice a mid-angle brace plate/piece that sticks out where the 3rd floor will be attached that isn't a "major" steel piece but probably more like the ground floor ones that were thinner in that slab.

Lets be clear, I stated the floor framing will change at the 4th floor and never stated this was the 4th floor. From what I recalled looking at the rendering which could be wrong, the first 3 floors were tall floors then reduce above them.
As you noted where the the 3rd floor is to go, would you not say that the underside of the truss is not the 4th floor??
Those things sticking out are stud to be anchor into concrete. Since I haven't been around when a lot of the steel has been erected, those areas as noted could be connection points where one section is connected to another as a splice point that is welded in the field.
My photo tours for the last 2 years have been 4-11 months between visit as well my need to be in various area and haven't spent much time viewing sites, like this one. That is to change starting this month.
