this is ancient greece designed by zaha hadid look at those geometries curving onto each other
and rising gently from the ground to give way to the iconic columns and speaking of columns
forget doric ironic and corinthian there's a new column in town imagine walking down the
street where both sides are designed to be curvy spatially magnificent and downright beautiful
imagine caesar getting murdered in this voluptuous flowing hall et tu brute but damn that ceiling
oh [ __ ] wait that that was rome okay let me try that again so let there be democracy and curves
that's ancient greece saved it to those of you wondering no this is not an actual
project designed by zaha hadid she did no such designs or renders when she was alive
these are all actually made by an ai app called mid journey
mid journey is the newest artificial intelligence app that people have been using to create some
brilliant and beautiful renders illustrations and fantasy projects it takes in text prompts which
in this case was zaha hadid designed ancient greece and spits out these beautiful renders
so how does this work well back in 2016 ai was at a point where it was able to identify parts of a
picture and gave descriptions to what they are for example a tree a cat a bridge it then moved on to
creating sentences from these descriptive words this was a huge leap but now four years later
people have worked to reverse this process now with apps like mid journey you can input a line
of text and voila you have a picture of it and this picture is not just a collage from everything
available on the internet this app tries to create something unique every time learning
from the base images but never recreating them like let's say a cat holding a bright red umbrella
vintage or charlie chaplin's portrait made by pablo picasso or an indian temple on mars the
feat here is that until now ai models were limited if you required an image of a landscape it needed
a huge set of landscape data and it would only work for landscape if you required cats just the
same it would only work for cats but now you can literally type in anything and it will create it
for you meryl streep could play batman and be the right choice she's perfection okay let's try that
get emotional thinking about it so what are the broader impacts of this technology
well it only recently opened up to a lot of people to use right now it is being used to create images
illustrations and these beautiful renders so the extents to which it is being used right now
is just artistic in nature but i think it will have a bigger impact on not just creating art
but also architecture with this new powerful app architects might initially want to experiment
create fantastic concepts it might start with competition entries and slowly we might see some
concepts come to life think back to how zaha hadid started her fire station with a painting
which eventually became the building what it will do is open up new and unprecedented study
into forms geometries and concepts it will first start to flourish in digital spaces
right now mid journey only creates 2d outcomes so these can be nice inspirations or nfts but
from these outcomes people can easily create 3d models we will see digital and
3d twins of these geometries but i believe it has the potential to go one step further
it has the potential to spit out outcomes that we eventually might see built around us architecture
thought up by ai i don't even know if the word thought is right here but i feel there can be
a flip side to this as well slowly if it becomes open to everyone it will change the way we design
we might just start designing backwards thinking of and visualizing the end result
first and then going back to the initial process to fit in functions forget stuff like form follows
function or function follows form once it becomes mass ready architecture might just
follow i don't know text prompts there are of course a lot of things we can hypothesize but
we still need to research this a bit more i will soon be making a separate video about ai
and architecture and in that video we will also see how mid journey can impact the architect of
the future and i don't want to just randomly think of scenarios i want to talk to people
artists designers and architects about how they are using it what are the possibilities
and more importantly what are the probabilities of these possibilities but for now i just wanted
to bring you in this realm of ai in this realm of just infinite possibilities the beginning of
the age of ai some might even say it actually started a long time ago anyway let's move away
from the algorithm of mid journey to the algorithm of youtube that responds to your likes shares and
