The rock cages or call "Gabions". Commonly used in landscape, or to retain Hills or riverbanks. They are prefab cages, typically fill on site.

Definitely looks like some sort of pre made cladding, I've seen companies who sell this sort of thing in sheets.

For a large commercial project like this I'd say they were especially made bespoke for it too.

In this case they looked to be fixed from behind.

They may have been pre-cast into panels off site somewhere, then installed vertically.
