Midjourney in Architecture 

A new design revolution is here! The advent of AI (Artificial intelligence) technology and tools like Midjourney and DALL-E 2 is finally maturing out of infancy and into the field of art, architecture, and design. Creators from every industry across the globe are scrambling to learn and harness this new technology to inform design decisions.  

AI (Artificial intelligence) image-prompting is said to be an art form that is easy to learn and hard to master. Learn to work through the chaos of the image outputs, find patterns between language and image, and control its iterative development towards a finite and feasible result. 

The Scope of the Studio: 

In the Midjourney Architecture workshop, students will learn some of the secrets of prompt crafting (the ability to control diffusion-model AI) and the intricacies associated with iterative design evolution. Beyond technical skills with AI (Artificial intelligence), they will learn some of the architectonic and visual sensibilities that go into curating AI (Artificial intelligence) as a medium of art and architecture.

During the second session, participants will learn to create feasible architectural designs using AI, and through a critique, some of the successful designs will be selected for a special session on speed modeling using Rhino3D + Grasshopper3d. 

Program:

Session 1 / November 5
30min Overview of Midjourney and Dalle-2
30min Art of Prompt-craft and Iterative design
20min Artistic curation and post-processing
10min assignment summary
1h Break for assignment 
2.5h Presentation and critique
30min Intro to parametric design and assignment summary

Session 2 / November 6

1h Critique and discussion on assignment results
3h Parametric-Design studio with Grasshopper

Software:

• Midjourney (required, standard membership recommended) 
• Dalle2 (recommended)

Tim Fu

Tim is a Canadian architectural designer at Zaha Hadid Architects in London, UK. He is part of ZH CODE (Computational research group), specializing in algorithmic design and related computational research for projects worldwide. He previously worked as Project Lead at IJP Architects, where his work can be found in CNN, Archdaily, AJ, and Dezeen. He graduated master’s with distinction from the Architectural Association and ran a computational design workshop at the Harvard GSD. Tim’s continual exploration of A.I. in architecture has caught global attention, and he’s been actively working at ZHA and independently to find methods of adapting AI into architectural practice.
