That's not what I think they were talking about. Not the undulations - rather the inconsistency of the gap sizes between them. Shop purposefully designed in some randomness. I think they did this to echo the imperfections on old terracotta facades. But it looks like the swooping gold details also have quite a bit of attachment imperfections. Generally that's not very good quality control.
It is an unforgiving angle (it's foreshortened, your seeing a thousand vertical feet in that shot) so it's not as noticeable from farther away.
