What Makes a Good Architectural Design?

Wozoco Apartments:

This architectural design is creative with a unique structure. The Het Oosten Housing Association had planned to have 100 residences, however, due to strict zoning regulations that have specific requirements to ensuring adequate access to sunlight and the desired gallery-type circulation, only 87 units could be adequately fit onto the site. The solution that they came up with is to build the blocks sticking out of the building. This is a creative and practical way to get around the building restrictions and it will also be aesthetically appealing if it is designed properly.
