@Tectonic had a nice closeup of the cladding on his stories too!

YIMHudson–The seams may well be intentional. They don’t appear to be cracks but rounded lines where the pieces fit together. That would make a significant difference as the facade gets installed.

I think you are referring to the ‘seams’ where the top/bottom of each curtain wall panel is joined to the panel above and below: those will be the only visible “seams”.
This type of prefabricated ‘panel’ assembly of the curtain wall can not be done without some seams; as you say - nothing is perfect.
There is great efficiency in using that panel system, compared to the way limestone slabs are fixed to a building’s facade, this curtain wall is going up fast.

This thing is just going to get better and better. It’s the arrow that’s going to point us into 2021.

My friend is becoming an architect and designer and I’m making sure when he designs building they’ll like sterns. I’m in school right now to be a project manger in construction engineering, probably start my own business.

I posted some pictures of the facade on Facebook and half a dozen of my friends wrote comments saying it was the ugliest facade they had ever seen. Didn’t get a single positive comment LOL.
