Introduction

Generative Metaverse is a workshop that revisits the relationship between spoken and written language and architecture as well as current notions of the metaverse. Generated through a combination of the latest machine learning models, images can be generated from text inputs. The parameters behind each model and semantics of these inputs establish new forms of architectural and cultural production where human agency remains critical in this creative process. In this workshop, we will question whether this novel design process would pass the architectural Turing Test, a question posed in last year’s Machine Intelligence Workshop. To do this, students will learn about text-to-image machine learning models, including CLIP, Dalle, and Imagen, and image-to-3D processes in Grasshopper, and apply these to architectural design outputs. We will collectively create a Latent City of the Captive Globe – a series of latent urban morphologies and students will learn an overview of how 3D NFTs can be minted, as a digital and personalized metaverse.

World in AI Brain: Design Data Driven Artificial Intelligence General Sensing Model

Introduction

In the first three workshops, we made many attempts in the fields of architecture, city, and art design from the perspective of artificial intelligence. DigitalFUTURES This year, we will summarize our experience and summarize a common approach to artificial intelligence design. We will use common data structures to unify data such as architecture, cities, music, painting, etc., and to train data in different design areas to achieve the AI "general sense" of design. The work camp will start with the theory introduction and literature interpretation of artificial intelligence combined design, covering the fields of architecture, city, structure, art design, etc. At the same time, we introduce the computer theory of artificial intelligence and feature engineering to expand the student's knowledge system. We will then introduce the training and application of the AI general sensing model for the deployment of three practical cases.

Introduction

The process utilizes a machine learning style transfer technology made by the Oxford's Visual Geometry Group. We take the predetermined process and invert it. Thus we use a texture as the base image and an image as a texture, or in other cases we forgo the texture altogether and instead opt to only feed the system base images; starving the system for a texture. This forces the system to produce uncanny, surreal, and possibly sublime results, outside the realm of expectation. These results can then be taken by the designer as a prompt, for further speculation and development based on a set of constraints. A more traditional modeling process follows, with the outcomes moving from "not possible to conceive" to a navigable experience.
