Awesome view, great work japrologue!

What makes aura really special to me is the fact that I can see the top part of the building from so many different places downtown. I kinda use it as a position compass much like the CN Tower.

And ya the glass is almost at the top on the west side. I could be wrong, but are they gonna install more steel to close the gap on the north side? Maybe once the external elevators are removed?

Sorry for just replying now - but yes I believe they are

That lighting line they're installing on the upper east side is very noticeable (a little bit in a distracting way). It's thicker than the vertical ones used; I kinda liked the more seamless look from bottom to top more, but it'll look better at night I guess.
It's less noticeable in my 2nd pic though due to reflections.

Im not sure if what you are referring to is actually going to be a lighting line. I think its just the seam between the mechanical glass and the crown glass. Looking at the rendering, it seems there are only going to be vertical lighting lines.

I'm pretty sure someone said earlier in the thread that they would be putting something over that thick horizontal seam between the mechanical floors and roof line. I hope this is true because I also find it very distracting.

This:

Here's a detail from that shot, pixel for pixel. I believe that the horizontal join as well as the vertical one at the corner will be covered by a dark mullion cap, and I have sent off a note asking if that is true. As it currently looks in its unfinished state, those joins (or lack of them currently) certainly interrupts the flow.

EDIT: and now I see that the email won't likely be replied to until mid-August as my contact is on vacation. We may have an answer appear on the skyline sooner than that! Who knows?!

It's amazing how much that top swoop improves the overall building -- it gives it an elegance and dynamism that the rest of the structure doesn't have.

The roof really makes the building. It looks great.

I found the inspiration for the building. The lipstick tower.
