    You clean it just like any other curtainwall. Hang. Clean.

    Getting into the corner of a triangle with a squeege [[or whatever) is a likely a little more difficult than a square. Many buildings have odd-shaped windows.

    The reflectivity patterns should be fun.

    Not sure what I think of the design. Depends on execution, I suppose. The courtyard between the buildings is the most interesting part to me. That's where the people will mostly engage this new building and the existing Fox Building.

    The other detail to watch will be the 'tube' between the buildings. In the renderings its pretty plain. I'm guessing they haven't yet decided how to handle that detail. Its a tough one. Plain is probably best. I think I'd vote for all-glass, but of different character, so it doesn't look too much like its a mosquito snout.
