Why not continue the brick shell at least to eye level? Why does it stop at waist level?

Brick expensive :(

panel cheap :)

The real question is, why is there any brick at all?

(The answer is almost certainly that somebody other than the engineer imposed the requirement.)

Brick waterproof.

Brick termite-proof.

Brick fireproof.

Panel same (probably, depending what kind of panel).

No, panel only as waterproof as the coating protecting it. Brick is rock, takes centuries to wear out.
