Options for cladding steel beams and column

Our architect has designed an open canopy structure that will have a glass/plastic roof and open sides. The beams and column are steel. We’ve had a price to clad these in aluminium which is very expensive. We might have to end up with this as an option but wondered if anyone has any ideas for alternatives? Potentially using composite cladding or anything similar? Be interested if anyone has a similar design. Steel bits numbered in red:

Could be stunning clad in stone. Won't be cheap.
