AI text-to-image services are becoming essential in the process of concept design.
But can AI technology assist further in the architectural design process?
AI Sketch Translation
The process started with an inital sketch representing a twisted form. This sketch was fed into a text-to-image prompt which generated multiple interpretations
Numerous prompts and initial sketch image strengths were used with multiple architectural possibilities that could be explored further and translated into architectural concepts with floor plans. With the main proposition being the fact that there is a solid that wraps around the shape with the solid and the glass elements seamlessly interplaying their strong, but separated identities
This AI concept was picked to be used as a basis for the concept design. However it also had some issued that needed to be address. The AI concept would be a residential building, implying that there should be balconies. Also the solid edifice needed to shrink in size in order to maintain the solidity while making sure the interior spaces receive adequate light
