Wow that concrete formwork for the column into the podium is stunning...

I was about to say the same thing. Reminds me of a modern take on the stone arches of the 1900s.

Ugh, so nice. Allied is just the best. Credit where credit is due. Can't wait to see the arches once the brick is attached, it's going to be sublime.
LUVIT!

I love the scale of this too. Plus I love this area.

Shame they're precast...they look to be covered in red brick eventually anyway.

These are precast in the manner of City of Arts or Selby, not 365. I think it will look great.

Yeah but it's still a phony way to make a structure look like it's bricked, just like modern kitchen cabinets made from particle board with a nice veneer ... nothing beats a bunch of bricklayers on scaffolds laying the real thing

Not like how we use brick right now in general (as cladding vs. structural support) is any less phony, if you want to go down the purity road.
