Shouldn’t the cladding be bronze?

I suspect that silvery stuff is not the final cladding but an under cladding support system that the bronze pieces will clip into. They remind me of the silvery pieces that went up as the window systems were installed. They came back later to put up the finished cladding. You can see the same thing now on higher levels where the bronze pieces have not yet gone up.

They are moving fast. Or rather at the same pace with less square footage per floor.
It has been so nice to track progress with the diamond steel structure on the E/W facades. It’s also been amusing watching the diamonds morph with each tier, become smaller, and take “less time” to reach each N/S ends.

Is this tier going to see any concrete poured?

But for the one “floor” midway up the tier, it’s really just open air structure (with a lot of bracing) so I do expect them to finish this tier relatively fast.
There is a single floor midway up this tier, whether it will be an “actual” solid floor or a large catwalk like floor with grating is questionable though.
@5Bfilms nice closeups of the terraces.

I think what looks like a construction elevator was put up today for the last tier. Can our experts confirm?
Edit: An update once EarthCam swung around. It appears to be in the middle of the structure. But I don’t think they are pulling a surprise spire like the Chrysler Building so yeah probably construction stairs.
