Yeah I can’t get enough of the black silhouette but the purply sky clashes w/the incandescent colors. The thing is, even though this is not a multi-exposure shot it feels like one and I hate the look of HDR.

There is evil amongst us. The coming of the storm.
Vibes I get off it. Great shot as usual. To me, its not irritating the shot but scary.
9 DeKalb definitely looks sinister.

I REALLY like that with the cladding and angles of the tower it creates multiple shades of light onto the tower throughout the day. Like look at those images above, the bottom of the tower is obviously darker while it gradually fades brighter to the top. Well executed…I cannot wait to see the lighting

I think what you’re seeing/describing is more of an affect occuring with the bronze and tinted mullions than with the glass itself, which is the same shade up the whole building, the mullions change shape up the tower, showing more/less bronze in different amounts up the tower, which, this affect is also flipped the opposite direction on certain parts and gives the affect of a lighter base and darker top.
But generally, because of the atmosphere, buildings will always appear lighter at the base and darker at the top, except when shadows play a hand.

Shop did a great job by changing the pattern of the mullions on each setback. It reinforces each of them.
But I don’t think they get lighter as they go up.

Yeah, it’s just the ratio of Bronze to dark mullions that gives the appearance of lighter or darker areas, but everything (glass, mullion) is the same shade up the whole building.

You are right:
FROM JDS
The tower façade is designed to complement the landmark’s façade design and materiality. The tower façade repeats patterns of vertical columns and uses a similar material and color palette. The tower consists of alternating panels of glazing and arrays of vertical architectural profiles made of colored metals in black, copper and gold. The shapes alternate in size as the climb up or down each of the six tower faces, creating a fade from bronze to black as the tower reaches into the sky.

I mapped the future developments in the skyline. I like the twin peaks effect we will be getting from Atlantic ave.
