why "art code" ?

In architecture, the facade of a building is often the most important from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building. Art code is now being used by a new generation of architecture designers to explore innovative ways of generating form and translating ideas in a wide range of creative architectural disciplines

Beach + Howe Tower by big architects


A slender base forms the nine storey podium which vertically clears the road and traffic, ultimately widening into the 600 unit residential tower which hovers above the zone of pollution and noise. 
Shopping, retail and working spaces are accessible by the public plaza which pedetriansmay circulate freely under the large concrete supports. 
As the profile widens, the internal floor area is reclaimed and views to the ocean and surrounding mountains are revealed.

The Cullen by jackson clements burrows architects

Conceptually the idea was developed by abstracting the gardens beyond into a vertical landscape of green zinc cantilevered boxes. 
Internally the boxes are finished in a shade of green to reinforce the idea of a landscape that is continuous from commercial road interface. On the commercial road facade, this idea is inverted as random ‘pockets’ of virtual landscape. 
The scale and perceived depths of the balconies and windows are manipulated, reducing the building mass and referencing the turrets and datums in the surrounding context.
