For all the "data science" involved in constructing this "stack of books", it seems remarkable that they require so much steel to simply hold the thing up during construction. They could make another building entirely with all the trusses and supporting steel.

It just seems a massive waste of resources, time included. If one of the "books" slumps even an inch at the corners when they remove the supports... It just reminds me too much of the Gehry adventure at MIT. (which they will never do again).

Otherwise...more power to ya BU!

Almost topped out.

Yup; this camera angle allows a nice view of the glazing that's making progress from the bottom, and the last level of steel being added to the top:
