Architecture and AI: Controlling the Hallucination by Mustapha El Moussaoui
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 42.7 MB | True PDF, True EPUB
Overview: This book addresses the growing need for architects and designers to critically engage with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in visual and spatial production. It offers a systematic approach to understanding, directing, and constraining generative models. Combining theoretical insights with technical instructions, the book explains how contemporary AI tools such as latent diffusion models can be employed effectively and responsibly. Rather than relying on AI as an automatic image generator, the book proposes a methodology grounded in control, feedback, and authorship. It introduces practical workflows using platforms – like ComfyUI, MidJourney, Grasshopper and others – to explore constrains, prompt structure, and how procedural logic can be harnessed to produce intentional, coherent results. This book is structured as both a theoretical map and a practical manual for this new territory. It is designed to guide you, the reader, through the evolving relationship between AI and architecture, from foundational concepts to hands-on application. First, we will demystify the machine. We will explore the core principles of AI, machine learning, and the specific neural network architectures— like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Diffusion Models— that have become so instrumental in creative generation. Understanding how these models are trained, how they “learn” from data, and how they generalize that learning is the essential first step toward controlling their output. Having established this conceptual foundation, the book will pivot to a practical, hands-on focus on ComfyUI, an accessible, open-source tool that allows for an unparalleled degree of control over the AI image generation pipeline.
