Vellu... every option is true...
I took many photos myself (when I ocasionally go to Porto Alegre... I live 40km north of Porto Alegre, on the northern edge of its metro area)
other photos I find at Panoramio... other photos I get with friends from Porto Alegre, including the owner of the site Porto Imagem, as well as an Emporis editor from Porto Alegre who photographed lots of buildings in the city, and other sources too. Some building photos were taken from street level. Others from other buildings (providing less perspective).
Photos with less perspective are much more important for buildings with balconies.... either way, in some cases the best thing to do is to "divide and conquer"... that is... divide the textures in its useful parts, and multiply them across the building.
