I imagine it's part of the current architectural fad. About 20 years ago a bank in Cedar Rapids (IA) had a facing made of plain ol' iron. It was intended to rust, and the surface rust was to protect the iron underneath. It worked well, and the iron (and building) was indeed protected. But a bit of the rust washed off and colored the sidewalks and streets around the building. (The building was the Brenton Bank at 2nd Street and 1st Avenue SE.) -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
