always wondered if you can reverse engineer the house.
Starting from renders and developing backward: elevations, floor plans, paperwork, and details. In that order.
After chatting with Pieter Levels and seeing his project This House Does Not Exist - 100% designed by AI, I felt that he is onto something. I was inspired and I jumped to further explore this concept.
Text-to-image AI generators are on the rise and they are already disrupting the art industry, so why not architecture as well? Architecture is so much stuck in the 2000s that it needs a big shake and two slaps. Time to bring architecture to the future!
Nowadays, we architects, are showcasing our work to clients in the forms of renders and visualizations. So far, this is the best approach to showing the client's future home. If you present only floor plans, sections, or just elevations, there is a possibility that clients will not 'see' or understand your concept, nor how their house will look like.
This is the current process of developing the house idea (in short).
1. Initial talks / Sketches / Examples / Presentation & Feedback
2. Concept drawings / Mockups / Moodboards / Presentation & Feedback
3. Making initial floor plans / sections / elevations / 3D model / Presentation & Feedback
4. Further developing drawings / Preparing renders / Presentation & Feedback
5. Final drawings / Renders / Presentation & Feedback
6. Paperwork / Developing details for the construction site / Feedback
What if we completely rearrange the process?
1. Client generates his dream house with the help of an AI.
2. Based on that visualization they further generate elevations.
3. Once satisfied with the look of the new home, the client can start generating floor plans.
4. With the plans and looks of the house, the client can pick a local architect to finish the paperwork and develop the details for the construction site.
Simple!
