As an aspiring young designer, I have always been fascinated by the beauty and elegance of Baroque architecture. I wanted to create a series of images that could convey the complete story of a Baroque villa, inspired by the antique style of Portuguese tiles. To achieve this, I turned to Midjourney AI, a powerful tool that enabled me to bring my vis...

With Midjourney's latest version 5 model, I embarked on a journey to rediscover the silk and stone tectonics that I had previously explored. The software bridges the gap between the creative flair of the version 3 model and the realism of the version 4 model, enabling me to create a refined and cohesive output.

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.

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.

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...

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...
