Abstract
Beyond the Boundary _ AI in Architectural Ideation: AI-driven image generation is revolutionizing architectural design by enabling the creation of unseen, imaginative spatial and structural concepts. By harnessing the power of generative AI, architects can "hallucinate" speculative environments that push the boundaries of traditional design ideation. These tools offer a platform to visualize alternative and refreshing design ideas, sparking creativity and interrogating conventional approaches. The surrealist atmospheres generated by AI provide a unique lens to explore spatial relationships, materiality, and form, fostering a deeper understanding of unconventional design possibilities. This approach empowers architects to speculate and innovate, blending artistic inspiration with architectural exploration. I am exploring AI generative tools to delve into architectural surrealism and alternative speculative design. These tools enable the visualization of unconventional and imaginative spatial and structural concepts, offering a fresh perspective on design ideation. By leveraging their capabilities, I aim to interrogate traditional design approaches while creating speculative environments that inspire new possibilities. This exploration bridges artistic creativity with architectural innovation, providing a platform to understand and experiment with surrealist atmospheres and alternative design methodologies.
