Looks amazing! Are the plans to keep it going pretty much every night?

I was told there will be a "show" every night, from sundown to 11pm

Saw a bit last night, and the pattern they had on at the time was subtle scattered twinkling lights changing from purple to white to green. Probably 60% lit at any given time but constantly changing positions which was great at hiding the burnt out ones.

I expect the twinkling to become the standard pattern most nights.

I wonder if it bothers the residents to have a bunch of LEDs going off outside the window

 

[Mountain Man]

They are in the outside of the window frame, so most residents probably won't even notice unless they see a reflection in another building. That or every suite is like the scene in Shanghai in Skyfall lol

And if they have a problem with it, too bad. They knew they were signing a lease in the largest piece of public art in the Western Hemisphere.

Yet it's nowhere near as tall and doesn't have a permanent public art piece installed into its facade. Hence my post haha

Took a long walk to get away from research paper writing, ended up at Telus Sky. Here are the results The one at the bottom is a link to the video I took.

And three of the videos I took...

Im working in front of Vancouver House and let me tell you, that building doesn't stack up to the Telus Sky. In fact, when I show some of my co workers pictures of Telus Sky, especially the lit ones, their always at awe. Theres just something more premium with office /mixed used towers over residential towers.

I do love Vancouver house, though that city would probably be better off with TS as it would be their tallest by quite a bit.

Im fairly certain that the reason Vancouver House gets all of its recognition is because its in Vancouver. If you swapped the places of TS and VH i'm sure that TS would get the recognition because again, it would be in Vancouver.

 

[Mountain Man]

It definitely gets a lot more attention because Vancouver, people don't associate architecture with Calgary unless it's a beige suburb lol. Vancouver House is a gorgeous building though, it deserves all the attention it gets.

I don't see the need to nitpick which building is better. If one was in Edmonton though, then different story, their building would suck.
