Some kind of large scale art or mural ? I'm fairly sure there are options other than blank concrete that could make the whole thing more palatable.

This is intentional. They want people to activate the street level, going in and out of buildings (yes, even in winter), which is great in my opinion.
There is a bridge between 51 Breithaupt (old brick) and 28 Breithaupt (glass sculpture). It's there because the lower floors of the west side of 51 are occupied by non-Google tenants, so the ground-level path is roundabout, but the top floor is Google. Also, weather.
