“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.

Another Midjourney exploration, this is an extension to the Silk & Stone series but this time I mixed my prompts with both Renaissance and Baroque style qualities. In addition, I generalised the silk draping to a more generic approach of any fabric, this was in hope that the AI would then treat the fabric in any direction and manner it saw fit rath...

With artificial intelligence, how will you act against intercultural development? Will there be tacitly reserved rights? What will happen to intellectual property? Will it give less or more value to NFTs? How will misinformation be dealt with? Design from non-design?

Using Midjourney I wanted to explore areas that verge on the impossible but are still grounded to reality allowing the viewer to get a glimpse of “what could’ve been.” My interests in the Renaissance are derived from my love for Palladio’s work, it amazes me how simple concepts are manipulated and controlled to form beautiful, balanced Architecture...

This project is a conceptual one, based around my interests in Baroque architecture, I used Midjourney to explore the Baroque façade with the theoretical knowledge I have of the architectural style. Baroque greats like Bernini, Borromini and Guarini came to mind when trying multiple prompts but the one that gave me the best response from the AI was...
