I could see them being used on residential structures to cut down sunlight during the day in summer, and light pollution from street-level during night, while maintaining a persons views, but that doesn't look to be the case here.
Any material that isn't glass is good imo. The reason I don't comment much on new Vancouver projects is that they all look much alike because of the extensive use of glass.

This one looks ok, better than average - so is the proposed height 140m or 119.7m as mentioned in the post above ?
