in beachfront cottage, vinyl facing in  overlapping shell patterns You're
gonna get it looking like shells  lined up in straight lines and stamped into
aluminum siding.  The problem  is fabrication, and it ain;t gonna come out like
Bradbury & Bradbury  wallpaper.
in new york, cast stone units with rich  textures and colors It's called
split-face concrete block.  Looks  like jails.
instead of 1950's apartment houses with  white glazed brick, all sorts of
colors: chrome yellow; deep red rising to hot  pink at the top; mottled grey like
a stormy sea surface in north atlantic;  zig-zag diaper pattern (a la doges
palace) Take a look at the building  at the NE corner of 42/8th (or maybe 43).
Funny colors, weird angles,  odd-shaped windows.  Looks like shit.  But not
boring, at least for  the first minute or so.  Then it just gives you  agitta.
bolt on titanium facing rendered in log-size  components Lincoln logs for the
masses?  Or the  tycoons?
