    You're obviously talking about the inner cube not the outer cube right? the inner cube looks cool and fairly seamless, the outer cube structure has big ass support structures which would be what jobs would detest.

    No, I'm talking about the outer structure.

    I'll be in the area later today, I'll take a camera and see if I can get some pictures of the glass panel connectors.

Certainly Steve has been fascinated with cubes for quite awhile. But what would a cube might represent to Steve? I have some ideas, but would like to see what others see first.
