I think this was already noted a few pages back. For structural reasons, the next two floors will need to be poured first.

Today. Not sure what those blue brackets are. Start of joints for the hangers?

Guessing - climbing work platform for the crew to place formworks along the supercolumns? It looks pretty movable and reusable.

I've been suspecting that for awhile now. They look rather portable.

Not sure there’s enough money in the world to get me to walk out on one of those when they’re 80 storeys up.

forget 80 - that current hight is enough to kill you if you fall

Bit of a side tangent but this is something I've never understood about the human brain. Most people wouldnt hesitate to walk out on those things right now even though the fall would most certainly cause grievous body injury and likely death.
Move it up another 5 stories certain death and people still would be fine to walk out there.
40 stories all the sudden not so much. Even though the net change in risk is zero.
I find it fascinating

People who are scared of heights generally don't like being more than 15 feet off the ground. I know if I fall from there I'll probably be ok.
Having swum on a swim team I remember going on the 3m spring board. That was a little too high but I could tolerate it. The 5m platform was terrifying but I could walk about about 5-6 feet towards the edge. The 10m platform? I couldn't walk even 2 feet towards the edge.
I live on the 15th floor of a condo building. So why can I tolerate higher than the diving platform? The only thing making it ok is solid walls and a balcony wall that's solid. If one or both were glass I couldn't live here. When on my balcony I have to look out. If I look over the edge and down I feel nauseous. Once I went up to a 25th floor balcony in the same building and I became queasy immediately even when I looked out instead of down. When you psychologically lose contact with the ground it makes me extremely uncomfortable.

That's very interesting and true for a lot of people, I'm sure. Traveling in space is something some people are perfectly fine with. Astronauts do it all the time and work outside the space station. I'm thinking that's a no go for you?
