Since it has some interesting bent metal, articulation and is a blank canvas... and given our darkness for 3-4 months of the year... how in the hell have we not done stuff like this?

It looks pretty good but there is a commercial element to projection mapping and it wouldn't be a big surprise if some developers began claiming that to make a project economically viable, a blank canvas for advertising would be necessary. Then there would be a bunch of unsightly buildings with blank facades advertising junk. Would say though that the advertising seen on historic building for Black Cat cigarettes, or Coca-Cola, or Podersky's Furniture adds a lot character to them.

Precisely, it is a license begging to be abused; plus there are too many windows that would break up the projection. It would be better etched into the zinc facade (with continuous window vinyl graphics so that it becomes and remains an art piece -- I prefer the idea of replicating architectural graphics of past library facades and plants with permanent murals where appropriate. A permanent application would add gravitas.
