Then there is #architecture, #ai and design.

I was curious to see what Midjourney would generate when prompted to create a facade similar to the new Geelong Art centre in regional Victoria, designed by ARM Architects. Who knows, this real world design may have evolved using #AI? But then, design synthesis is complex and personal.

PS. I’m a little perturbed by the architectural references Midjourney used for the modern facade constructed of a “half drawn concrete curtain with rope sash and bauble”, and there is no one I can ask why.
