Sorry, that's already been done. It's called Brutalism.
Now, wait, I am not talking about brutalism.  I am more talking about, say, 
the 1970s work of SITE (James Wines, Alison Sky, etc.) where the building is 
sort of a process.  Remember, the Best store where the brick wall was "peeling 
off" etc.  

To design a building with differing stones so that the weathering would 
>>accentuate, not minimize<< the variations in the facade (say), that's what I'd 
like to do.  

Say, did I tell everyone that I got into the Architectural Association, but 
then I broke up with the Architectress who convinced me to become an architect? 
  I don't think Ken Frampton would have liked those ideas.
