That's going to create trouble for any walkway around the south and west of the building. You can already see how much snow accumulated on the mesh. It's going to be a steady slow drip from the area that gets sun down to the flyover shaded surface below creating a scatter of icy spots.

I like the look of the mesh!

Does anyone know how fire egress / rescue works with a building with this kind of cladding?
 
I'm curious how someone would exit from the interior and get to the ground in case of a fire?

There should be 2 exit stairs accessed off a corridor. Stairwells are typically pressurized to prevent smoke filling them in the case of a fire. Corridors are also pressurized to prevent smoke from a fire within a unit getting into the corridor. This building would also be sprinklered to increase the time people have to exit. If the fire department needs to break a window to get someone out, then something has gone very seriously wrong. I imagine they could get the jaws of life out to cut away at the mesh if the fire was that bad. Units have very loud alarms and strobes to alert residents as soon as the fire alarm goes off.
