That first picture has my OCD kicking it into high gear... ARGGGGGH!

 

[innsertnamehere]

how would they seriously install that without noticing? lol

It looks like it's part of the design, unless they made the same mistake on both the west and east sides.

If true, that design makes no sense.

You just don't understand art!

I've put up lots of glass on spider fittings, and I can say from experience that the one thing you never do is skip an opening because it makes the rest of the installation much more difficult. If those two pieces were fabricated with the pattern inside out or upside down I would have installed them anyway just to keep my spacing consistent. Plus it could take several weeks to get replacements, and they're helping to close in the building in the meantime
