AI-Generated Architecture: Designers Use Midjourney to Imagine Future Cities
Architects and computational designers are exploring innovative architectural ideas using the AI image generator Midjourney. Reem Mosleh, a Jordanian architect, has produced more than 15,000 designs that fuse bio-architecture with traditional Jordanian styles and references to Bernini, including projects titled "Glowing Technology" and "Society ‒ Fishnet." Indian designer Manas Bhatia's "AI x Future Cities" showcases air-purifying towers, while "Symbiotic Architecture" envisions tree-based apartments inspired by Hyperion. Egyptian designer Hassan Ragab presents "The City is a Tram," which reimagines Alexandria in the shape of a tram, along with Art Nouveau influences. The designers highlight AI's role in enhancing creativity, with Bhatia and Mosleh discussing its benefits for ideation and work-life balance. The piece also touches on parametric design and intelligent systems in architecture.
