They are using some giant foam blocks (presumably) to create voids for the mat pour, I haven't seen anything like it before.

 

Okay guys, I'm a bit confused and am not caught up with this building...Can anyone please tell me what the foundation is for? For what exactly?

I wonder which is taller right now, market square or 609?  From the north/west angle in the photo it looks like they're about even.

609 Main is definitely waaaayyyyy taller.

As I was coming in from 59 North, this building looks to be at or above the height of 2 Houston Center. 

I hope this doesn't alter the design too much...I really love the design.
