We, probably, all will have a different take on the best way to process your images .... I had a look at 0020 and make some comment based on that item alone.
I needed to initially use highlight-reconstruction>recon-in-LCh to eliminate some (brown) sky problems and then followed with a substantial change in white-balance. Once that was done the shadows-and-highlights (gaussian) worked just fine and I had a reasonable sky and building both in balance. The building does have a substantial blue component within the gray and as it was in the shade the color went a bit sideways during the take (my opinion). Again my take would be to further accentuate the warm tones in the building (color-zones) and as a final kick I pushed the local-contrast>detail slider a few notches. No need from my eye to mess with several of the modules that you used to produce a fine initial result (after the verticals were corrected).
