For a programmer to go out of his way to create a program for that purpose, or for Mr. dePortzamparc/his designee to chose what color panel should go where on the E/W sides, it's a labor of love either way.
In short, the detailing of this tower is just as painstaking as obtaining and building around the dimensions of the parcel it's built on.
PS: The pano kicks ass. Expect much more activity by this time next year.
