Thank you Matt and Zaf.
The workers in photo #2 are cleaning an art installation, the 'Wind Arbor'. It consists of 260,000 metallic plates covering the western facade of the building, equivalent to 5.5 Olympic sized swimming pools. Part of the 'Wind Arbor' can also be seen in photo #1.
In the upper portion of photo #3 is another art installation 'Drift'. It is made up of stainless steel polyhedral matrix that stretches between the 5th and 12th floors. Manufactured from 16,100, 12.7mm square, stainless steel bars linked with 32mm dia ball bearings and weighing an incredible 15 tons.
