Mohammad Qasim Iqbal: Continuing my explorations through Midjourney, I decided to imprint the fabric features onto the villa typology. The prompt used “Palladian Villas” as a key term, as I wanted the artificial intelligence to pick up on the strong renaissance style of those Villas.

“The Cairo Sketches” are architectural explorations using Midjourney, an AI text to image generator. The purpose of this art project is to re-investigate the Islamic geometry using more recent mathematical principles. As an Egyptian architect I found it thrilling to apply these concepts over the Mamluk building’s Facade in Cairo.
