What makes a good Architectural design?

(Architectural design that i like) [google]

What is in the design that you consider to be good design?

- Unique Design (creative)

- Colorful (But matching colors)

- Practical, makes sense

What are the criteria?Lists down the criteria.

- Unique Design (creative)

- Colorful (But matching colors)

- Practical, makes sense

State what you observe in the building/design that fits/does not fit the criteria that you have listed down.

The building that i posted is not colorful (at least due to the night sky) However, i realised that the light "radiate" out from the building and makes it very bright. The design is creative as the bottom of the building is smaller than the top, the complete opposite of the pyramid. The design is square and it makes it practical as it does not waste space.
