Instantly hit with an operatic "SPAAAAAAANDDDDRRRELLLLLLLLLLLL!"

They spandrel looks much too busy, but at least it is different from the usual spandrel panels.

At this point, spanderel away on tower exteriors above the two to three storey podium. But for the love of god push more permanent materials and good design on the podiums.

I've never been concerned over the tower's base here. It's brick. Any spandrel will be hidden behind other features. 25 more storeys of the tower's glass cladding installed so far is not as easy to ignore should the commercial base turn out as good or better than the renderings.

Walked by this today, really not liking the large spandrel and small vision glass I'm seeing. Hopefully it doesn't go up the entire south facade!

Developers adapted to the energy codes in the cheapest and easiest way and we blame the code. Like blaming the mistress instead of the husband.

 

[Mountain Man]

You can do an all glass building and still meet the energy code.
