Generative Design Workflows (AI + Architecture)

This video is an excerpt from a lecture on integrating Artificial Intelligence in architecture.
The presentation suggests methods for combining currently available AI tools to develop design processes or exercises that may help you become more familiar working with AI in Architecture.
It includes 5 workflows I've developed including:
• Componentized Digital Fabrication
• Scripted Installation
• Automated Attribute Application
• Reverse Prompt Engineering
• Virtual Environmental Design

Update: Midjourney released a "/describe" feature that resembles my "Reverse Prompt Engineering" workflow/exercise (2023-04-03)

As an architecture major this subject is beyond fascinating to me. I really like your approach of realistic and buildable AI generated designs and workflows. I feel like it is the key to making this field relevant and credible in the near future, otherwise it's just pretty images. I'm also currently planning to write my thesis around this very subject (buildable AI designs). Will be following your research closely for sure!

[@StephenCoorlas]

That's awesome the hear - I'd be interested to see/read your results. And yes, I agree - I believe finding ways to make these technologies more functionally integrated with a fabrication or construction process is what will help advance the field of AI + Architecture. Thanks for tuning in!

[@sud3187]

I also do the same

[@paradigmcatalyst5312]

Absolutely mind blown by how amazing these tools are! Thank you for making these are sharing these tools! 🔥

[@StephenCoorlas]

Absolutely, my pleasure. Trying to advance the field in a responsible way!

[@kritzstudio]

The information you provide is incredible! I come from another area, 3d modeling and tool development and I am really grateful for the content of your channel, greetings!

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hey! There’s much more to come in this evolving field so stay tuned. I appreciate your support 🤘🏼

[@joesaad2166]

i have been watching all your tutorials .they are one of the best. very useful thank you

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in 🤘

[@nasserahmad4653]

You are amazing, thank you for sharing this well-presented tutorial

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thanks so much, Greatly appreciated. Hope this inspires and encourages others to continue researching these topics!

[@StevenYounkinCivil]

Cool stuff, thanks for the video.

[@StephenCoorlas]

You bet, thanks for watching 🤘🏼

[@josephhvnguyen1755]

Awesome 🎉 interesting to see how ai combined with your design workflow. Very creative using ai as tool! Hope more more “artists/designers” get more creative and produce some serious piece of work… love your tutorial a lot to catch to do, love to see more videos like this, job week done sir🎉👍

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thank you - These are very theoretical, but hopefully a good starting point for others to develop further. Thanks for tuning in!

[@5amsa_3mara]

U r awesome man!! 🔥😍 keep going❤

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thanks for the words of encouragement - I'll keep going 🤘

[@jolu1621]

Thank you 👍

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hope it’s informative! 🤘🏼

Amazing stuff! I can feel the future of architecture coming soon. As a young architect designer and extremely interested in AI workflow for architecture, I am so happy there are people like you starting to discuss and experiment with this stuff. How did you start to learn about AI and writing prompts for design ideas?

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hey, thanks! Glad you find this interesting. It's happened rather quickly for me over the past year. I've always had an interest in artificial intelligence, but now having the ability to quickly develop concept images has only accelerated my interest in integrating it with architecture. I'll have some more interesting content coming up so stay tuned. I always enjoy the conversation with other enthusiasts 🤘

[@JonasRaw]

Amazing. Thank you for making these videos. Very inspiring. Question: Is it possible to generate interior and exterior images of the same building at the same time especially if your building has large windows so you can see the interior?

[@StephenCoorlas]

I'd say there's ways to get it close, but without having an actual reference image to use with controlnet, you'll get some disconnect if you were prompting raw into Midjourney. Having a 3D model of some sort still seems to be essential in creating a holistic 3D proposal with consistent interior and exterior views.

[@martinodegrandis7222]

👏👏👏👏

[@StephenCoorlas]

Thanks!

[@AnxoMosquera]

Thanks for the explanation. Could you explain a prompt, where yo can view 3 sides of a furniture at the same time, like a drawing cad plan ( sketch, drawing ). thanks a lot.

[@StephenCoorlas]

Yes I’ve experimented with that but the image consistency between the 3 or more views is not uniform yet.

[@AnxoMosquera]

Thank you!!, keep making good videos..

[@johnmolefe3380]

This is cutting edge stuff, well presented. are these modeling AI tools freely available. Do you think as designers, AI will dominate the industry leaving only project managers to oversee AI designs. Just curious.

[@StephenCoorlas]

Hey, thanks! Yes a lot of these tools are available for free right now, I linked to many of them in the video description. I think the tools will definitely make their way into everyone’s workflow, one way or another. Adobe just released a FireFly, which is a generative design program within their software suite. I don’t believe AI will infiltrate every industry immediately. It will be a gradual shift in the adaptation and use of these tools and company workflows.

[@johnmolefe3380]

@@StephenCoorlas Thank you for the insight. Ive already incorporated AI in my work flow already as part of learning more about it than being opposed to it. It has changed the game for sure.

[@sud3187]

All the best. Why do you often use clay or terracotta? I am doing my specialization thesis and that is my topic; parameterize architecture in clay

[@StephenCoorlas]

I have a core belief that we should return working with natural elements of the earth as much as possible, and that these natural materials may inform a style of method of building that can help revolutionize the architectural/construction industries. I'd be curious to learn more about your thesis.
