The AI art generators are capable of generating artwork pertaining to many industries. One such intervention of AI art generators is architecture.
To be precise, architectural designers are already leveraging DALL.E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion to create unimaginable designs in a few seconds. It is visible that designers are taking a huge leap of inspiration from the work of AI art generators for their design.
To make the most out of AI art generators, you must learn prompt engineering. Apart from that, take a deep dive into this article as it unravels the techniques of using an AI art generator to create stunning and unimaginable architectural designs.
Tips to Get Architectural Design Images Using AI Art Generators
Shape
To begin constructing an architectural design prompt, you need to start with the shape of the building. Pick any one of the shape from the below list.
- Curve
- Bezier curve
- Triangle
- Square
- Pentagon
- Hexagon
- Hexagonal
- Octagon
- Decagon
- Spirangle
- Rhombus
- Spirangle
- Cube
- Cuboid
- Sphere
- Cone
- Cylinder
- Pyramid
- Torus
- Rectangular Prism
- Star Prism
- Wedge
- Zonohedron
- Tetrahedron
- Octahedron
- Dodecahedron
- Icosahedron
- Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedra
- Cuboctahedron
- Rhombicuboctahedron
- Icosidodecahedron
- Rhombicosidodecahedron
- Trapezohedron
- Cupola
- Anticupola
- Hypercupolae
- Bicupola
- Frustum
- Bifrustum
- Rotunda
- Birotunda
- Prismatoid
- Scutoid
- Bipyramid
- Star Bipyramid
- Antiprism
- Anti-Prism
- Trapezohedra
- Star Trapezohedron
- Spherical polyhedron
- Mobius strip
- Hexaflexagon
- Miura fold
Hyper Shapes
- Hypercube
- Hyperprism
- Hyperpyramid
- Hypertorus
- Hypershpere
- Hypercone
- Hypercylinder
- Hyperzonohedron
- Hypertetrahedron
- Hyperoctahedron
- Hyperdodecahedron
- Hypericosahedron
- Flexible Polyhedron
- Klein bottle
Views
The next in constructing an architectural prompt is adding a view. Adding a view will let you see and capture the design from different angles.
- Front view
- Top view
- Side view
- Wide angle view
Material
Now, you can mention the material of the building if you want. Adding different materials will result in different outcomes.
- Clay
- Mud
- Bricks
- Terracotta
- Mud brick
- Cob
- Concrete
- Glass
- Steel
- Cross laminated timber
- Bamboo
Landscape
Mentioning the landscape will enhance the background of the architectural design.
- Mountain
- Beach
- Marine Drive
Styles
After mentioning the shape, view, material, and landscape, you need to mention the style of the design. Without the style, the architectural design generated by AI might look boring.
- Greek and Roman Classical Architecture
- Gothic Architecture
- Baroque
- Neoclassical Architecture
- Victorian Architecture
- Islamic Architecture
- Persian Architecture
- Modern Architecture
- Post-Modern Architecture
- Neofuturist Architecture
Architect Names
The other way of inheriting designs is by mentioning the architect’s names. This is one of the nicest hacks to get the design without mentioning more words in your prompt.
- Antoni Gaudí
- Andrea Branzi
- Aldo Rossi
- Frank Lloyd Wright
- Mies Van der Rohe
- Philip Johnson
- Eero Saarinen
- Richard Rogers
- Frank Gehry
- Norman Foster
- Renzo Piano
- Santiago Calatrava
- Zaha Hadid
- Oscar Niemeyer
- Rem Koolhas
- Jeanne Gang
- Daniel Burnham
- Gordon Bunshaft
- Shigeru Ban
- Mario Cucinella
- Massimiliano Fuksas
Conclusion
Constructing prompts to get architectural design requires a great skill of prompt engineering and patience. With this article and the sheer amount of consistency, anyone can get architectural design inspiration from DALL.E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.
To get more unique designs, try adding terminologies, such as monolithic, volumetric lighting, also known as “God rays”, soundwave style, and industrial interior in your prompt.
