I guess the CAD model had trouble loading on the intern's laptop so they just ordered what they saw?

Woof! Those materials are fugly AF.

NORR architects after designing the worst building you've ever seen:

Barf love the density though.

I’ll be quietly hoping for a return to Tyvek in the next great wind storm.

Not great to look at but it serves a purpose. This is a good location for someone to rent a place.

Looks best blindfolded, but if you don't have anything handy to cover your eyes, night will do.

It's not very good, but I don't find it terrible. To me terrible, is something like the Venetian or the original Mission Station rendering.

 

[Mountain Man]

This is ugly, but it's not the worst ever!

It's the random squares, why the random squares of different material? If it was well segmented, I'd be just fine with it.

Surround it by trees, widen the sidewalk on 14 Street, and add 25 other buildings of around the same scale in all directions. No one will notice any weird colour and material choices. It's the secret to urban density the world over.

If that's not enough on it's own, by the time all that happens in about 25 - 50 years, the exterior of this one will be up for it's lifecycle replacement anyways and the owner will go with something cheap and standardized.

It says something when the Venetian is dredged up.

They may have actually spent more money to make something banal look worse. That's a loud FAIL!
