    Unfortunately I have to look at that Helios building almost constantly (it’s pretty much all I see out my window at work).  Could they have possibly selected a cheaper or uglier material for the siding? 

    1) All the different colors just make it look like it’s rusting already.  You’d think they could have at least managed different intensities of the same shade, not several just-enough-different-to-be-ugly shades.

    2) The material is so cheap you can see the waves in it already, even in the photo above.

    3) What’s with all the mismatched widths of the panels? Bizarre.

    Overall: Yech.
