Which property of alminium makes it a good choice for walls and roofs?

Very durable - the aluminum surface oxidises but this protects the remaining aluminum extremely well.
It is light - so places very modest loads on the rest of the building infrastructure
It is easily machined / worked / bent / cut / drilled - so is not hard to use .
Compared to SOME alternatives it is not too expensive - though far from cheap.
On the downsides, not THAT cheap, very poor heat insulation, poor sound insulation, can result in making a "faraday cage" which results in poor cellular signal penetration etc.
