Course Aims | ||||||||
The themed studio series includes four different studio foci; it aims to provide students with a studio environment to explore areas of their own interest and prepare them to formulate their independent study in the Architectural Thesis Studio. This studio focuses on applying AI and Digital tools to explore architectural design. Recently, with the rapid development of Stable Diffusion and its series of control plugins, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a qualitative mutation in architectural design. In this course, we will use the latest generative AI techniques and train and practice creative AI models for architectural design. We will start with the theoretical introduction and literature interpretation of artificial intelligence combined with design, covering architecture, cities, structures, art design, and other fields. At the same time, we will introduce the computer theory of AI and feature engineering to expand students' knowledge systems. Next, we will introduce the training and application of generative AI models to deploy Stable Diffusion, LoRA, and ControlNET. Finally, students will work on a personal design and research project to train and test AI models with specific architectural design topics. | ||||||||
