AI Architecture and Nature

We're seeing a lot of AI generated content recently that is heavily focused on aesthetics only, which is understandable since programs such as Midjourney are image based generators. In this video, I wanted to offer some thoughts on architecture that may help refocus your AI pursuits, or at least offer a new perspective on how I believe the practice of western architecture needs to evolve.
As architects and designers, it is our responsibility to constantly assess our practice to ensure appropriate trajectories are being pursued. I'd like to encourage more of us to explore a natural approach to materials and techniques, and emergent fabrication technologies can enable us to produce organic architectures that are analogous to ancient structures and building techniques.

Modern day architecture does feel really separated from the earth.

[@StephenCoorlas]

Couldn't agree more - We're trying to steer our practice and advocate for more natural based methods and materials 🤘

[@fractal_cedar]

YES! I share so many of your thoughts and visions around this. Thank you for presenting it so well. As someone with a building engineering degree who started in the natural building movement in 2007 and shifted in 2015 towards combining naturally carbon-storing materials and organic environmental design with solid building engineering and emerging technologies like 3D printing and AI, I would love to connect with you directly to share and discuss more! I am involved with an active group of folks working on advancing and promoting this direction.

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hey Erik! I love the enthusiasm and it would be great to connect. Feel free to send me a message - You can find my email address under the About tab on my YT profile. Congrats for your efforts in securing an engineering degree to tackle these issues head on. We need more people like you who are dedicated and willing to take responsibility to advance these areas of focus 🤘

WHICH SOFTWARE FOR DESIGN AND CONNECT WITH 3D PRINTING ROBOT PLEASE!? I HOPE CAN DO SOME SMALL BUILDING WITH 3D PRINTING. THANKS

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hi - This is what it currently in development. There's several ways to achieve this but no smooth clear path right now. Once I discover or explore one I will share it!

[@orestisvoukalis2010]

Loving it ❤️ Just Subscribed

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Glad you found it worthwhile 🤘🏼

[@paradigmcatalyst5312]

These are amazing! Do you have other social media, or a way to keep in touch, and see more of your work? I want to learn what you do!

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hey, no actually, the social media game was a distraction from being able to focus on some true progress here. This channel is the best place to keep in touch. Thanks for tuning in!

[@MrAmmarTV]

Good to give you variations of the design but not to give you a real render because it change the design just use twinmotion is so easy and simple to use and give you a really good result

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thanks for the heads up - We'll check that out!

[@rodfarid2056]

Was this video already posted?

[@StephenCoorlas]

This segment was at the back end of one of our previous videos, yes. I wanted to feature it as a launching point for further discussions on this topic 🤘

[@rodfarid2056]

@@StephenCoorlas true! amazing concept looking forward to more

[@StephenCoorlas]

@@rodfarid2056 Thanks for the support. I'm working on a script for my next video 🤘

[@rodfarid2056]

​@@StephenCoorlas already got notifications on, do you have any videos talking over ChatGPT? It is also an upcoming AI tool and can be used to do arch research and concept brainstorming :)

[@StephenCoorlas]

@@rodfarid2056 I will touch on this eventually. I do think there are interesting ways to incorporate AI chat technology into architectural investigations

[@krkddn]

Great visuals! Um...sorry, no hate, is that your real voice? I guess it sounds kinda modified. It's kinda bugging me.

[@StephenCoorlas]

All natural 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks though.

[@krkddn]

@@StephenCoorlasAh okay. Cool!
