The spray painted signs on the floor may be a clue ;)

Where is that?

You beat me by seconds...

South West corner where the scaffolding is

Not so sure those are new though

The signs are on the recently extended floor

Anyone figured out what the scaffolding is for? I'm sure wheelchair spaces (old or new) and a few seats can be accommodated right below the new fourth screen.

You’ve said that a few times but still don’t know what you’re referring to?

I know it has become a bit of a running joke when the mood needs lifting, but I do also mean it somewhat. Posted the top one sone time ago last time you asked, the bottom is a recent photo from the collar thread. You can see how it has shaped out, just a clumsy clash. Same happens on the City square side, and the step in height further back. Incidentally far better resolved on the equivalent junction on the office block building.

Did Seats installation became slower ?

Won’t be a fourth screen for the moment

Don’t think they are the extended floor can be see in the background and the surface colour is lighter

No. The weeks got faster.

It does seem to have stopped doesn’t it?

It's almost as if they have a schedule of works and are sticking to it, very peculiar ;)

Do you mean the panels should be more uniform in sizes all the way across?

It is the solid parapet horizontal, smashing into the vertical glazed corner, above the level of the top band that then doubles it up awkwardly. It is a fucking mess, and a total afterthought. It does this at every such junction. The approved had the terrace parapet as a glazed element and while the geometry awkwardness was always there, it didn't clash as much overall. On the office building they have coordinated the horizontal bands and slab heights and they don't have this issue, the junction steps at a 'natural' point. Many people might never notice it, and that's totally fine. Or some might and they'll know something 'feels' off, but won't really know what. But it bothers me, and has ever since I noticed it would change that way a fair while ago.

I'm not getting what the issue is there, not that I'm asking you to explain it further mind. Perhaps when it's all finished it may stand out more to myself.
