Sorry guys, but the claddding is already there in the form of translucent clear elements. I know it is not as strong visually as I would like and hence I can see that the model does show some resemblence to an unclad Burj. The scale I am using has each floor consisting of two plate elements heightwise. One plate is a horizontal floor visual divider (sort of a spandrel) and the other is a "window". Ideally I should have a lot more "window" vs "spandrel" for each floor, but I would have to build at a larger overall scale to do that - and that wouldn't match the other models I have built.

It's just one of the many compromises that I have to make in the design.
