Abstract : The visual landscape of our cities is ever- evolving, shaped by the architectural and embedded computer aided design marvels that adorn the urban fabric. Among the myriad elements that contribute to the allure of a building, the artistic impact on its facade holds a distinct significance. The facade, as the external face of a structure, acts as a canvas where artistry and design converge, manifesting an artistic expression that resonates with its surroundings and captivates the human eye. The interplay between art, computer and architecture has been a topic of fascination for centuries, as artists, computer aided design and architects have sought to transcend mere functionality and transform buildings into visually striking works of art. From ancient civilizations to modern metropolises, the artistic impact on building facades has been an enduring reflection of cultural heritage, societal values, and creative ingenuity. This journal aims to delve into the multifaceted aspects of artistic and computerization impact on building facades, exploring the diverse factors that shape this phenomenon and the profound influence it has on our built environment. By delving into the intricate interplay of aesthetics, functionality, and cultural context, we seek to unravel the power of artistic and automation expression in transforming buildings into iconic landmarks. Understanding the artistic and embedded system impact on building facades necessitates an exploration of various dimensions. Examining the influence of cultural context, as different regions and communities in Nigeria imbue their buildings with distinct artistic computerization styles, motifs, and themes rooted in their heritage and traditions. Additionally, architectural coupled with automation system style plays a pivotal role, as different design paradigms demand specific artistic elements and materials to achieve harmony and coherence between form and function. Furthermore, this journal will investigate the impact of the urban environment on artistic automation system expression. The surrounding cityscape, with its diverse architectural and computerization styles, urban planning principles, and contextual demands, serves as a backdrop against which building facades make their artistic and automation statements.
