I think the idea to mix marbles was done to add some variety to the building much as they used different "clear" glass for the podium at the the SW and North of the main "blue glass". I am thinking they wanted to add variety to different parts of the structure because it is such a large imposing structure. Personally, I love both marbles thought the white with black is certainly more striking in my view. Also, if I understand correctly, the white marble is over the area where the cars will drive in/out onto Adelaide and also at one of the entrances to the condo residences. Perhaps they wanted to dress up more the area at the entrance to the condos to make it more "chic" in appearance.
