If this is what you have, it is pretty simple.  If the panels are different colors in a pattern other than bands, that is harder. 

We do these as simple walls and just add reveals for the joints placing them in elevation.  You can split the walls horizontally (either complete wall or just the face) to add different colors in bands as you show.

Most people would suggest curtain walls but they will not wrap the corners.  People doing precast walls use the curtain walls because they are only vetical.

Do you just want counts or do you also want size of each panel?  Either way, if you try to model this, your project may get real slow and you may pull a lot of hair. 

I would model as I suggested, then I would use the following "trick".

1. Create an invisible line family - face hosted - wall category with shared x-y parameters to reference planes that can be stretced to the size (instant) or type parameters.
2. Create a label to tag this family.
3. In elevations - apply these families with tags to each rectangle.  These could be arrayed where your pattern is a pattern.  Alternate corners to not duplicate.  Add "special" types for 'L' shaped or otherwise special panels.
4. Now schedule these.
