In the next fifty years, humanity will start building base cities on Mars. We are sure that taking into account various climatic and radiation factors, architecture on the red planet will be different from the earth. Among the main and important tasks of architects and scientists will be the use of local Martian resources

In this Midjourney exploration I wanted to use AI to create a space that had ethereal, calm, and sacred sensibilities. This exploration was inspired by various Louis Kahn projects where he brings this everlasting feel of the spiritual and sacred.

“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...
