I would suggest that you use aluminum panels but you NEVER would weld aluminum to steel (the temperature differential is too great that would cause the aluminum to melt). That is why we have the steel mounting elements for the panels. I have oversimplified the drawing but it should provide you ample information to proceed in developing the alcove and typical condition. Take note that you will need columns but based upon the breakup of the curved conditions, you could easily use a combination of glazing (see the spider/glass conditions in Gary's detail) and the aluminum panels to make this work in your favor.
I also suggest you see the Dexia B.I.L. Building by Vasconi and Associates in Luxembourg for the potential to use exposed structures to highlight steel as well as make it easier for you to develop this upcoming section. Though it is not perfectly rounded it offers another option for you to proceed with.
