Does anyone know what all that yellow material is?

 

[Marcanadian]

Sort of looks like self-climbing formwork, though I'd think that would wrap around the entire envelope and not just two sides.

It's more or less protection for the period when they are actively pouring that area. Keeping the temperature more constant, etc...I'm not sure if the system has a name or not?

The link and image won't work, but I'll take your word SP. This is how I feel right now.

 

[Surrealplaces]

Should be better now

 

[Oddball]

Sure is!

 

[Surrealplaces]

I plan to pop by there sometime in the next day or so to get some more pics.

I'm liking the transparency of the glass, let's hope it stays like that all the way up.

The black aluminum panelling and the transparency of the glass will be a good combination. I'm excited for this project now that there is some cladding going up.

The glass looks promising so far, the panes are nice and big and I like the silver metal trim around the windows. It should give the building a nice detailed look.

 

[Cowtown]

Looks good so far!

 

[Col du Edworthy]

If I remember the renderings had windows that pivoted open on that floor, hard to tell if that functionality exists with what's installed so far.
