Absolute kudos to SHoP for insisting on this "imperfect" slightly misaligned look as it adds so much textural interest. I wasn't sure about it when I first saw the cladding mock-up but I love it seeing it rise.
The "on purpose imperfections" are a bit too imperfect for me ... I keep wanting to fix it.
