Visual aspects: ambiances

For the next phase, generative AI will be employed to create project ambiances based on the design. Two methods can be utilized: providing a detailed description using a prompt or utilizing building massing as a basis for constructing the image.

Prompt-based description: In this approach, the one will generate textual prompts that accurately describe the desired ambiance and key features of the project. This could include details on architectural forms, materials, landscape elements, lighting conditions, and user activities. The AI will then use this prompt to create a visual representation that captures the essence of the described ambiance.

Building massing as image construction support: Alternatively, one can generate a basic 3D model representing the building masses and their spatial arrangement. This model will serve as a foundation for the AI to build upon, incorporating additional details and context to create a realistic and immersive visual representation of the project.

Prompt tested

Generate a photorealistic rendering of a suburban residential area based on the following schematic layout. The environment features small apartment buildings surrounded by dense greenery. The buildings are sustainable, constructed primarily with eco-friendly materials such as wood, and feature modern designs with clean lines and flat roofs. They are arranged in an organized grid pattern along intersecting roads. Trees are scattered throughout the site, varying in height, density, and type (e.g., deciduous and evergreen). The roads are paved and light-coloured, with wide sidewalks. The scene emphasizes the harmony between the sustainable architecture and the surrounding nature. Include natural textures for grass, trees, and wooden facades, as well as a lightly overcast sky to diffuse the sunlight. The perspective should highlight the eco-friendly design of the buildings and the balance between architecture and nature.

Hyper-realistic urban eco-utopia: Biomimetic three stories building units with wooden façades, interwoven with translucent solar canopies. Sinuous treets teem with cyclists. Micro wind turbines disguised as sculptural trees. Sunlight dapples through leaf-like awnings, casting intricate shadows. A harmonious blend of cutting-edge sustainability and primordial nature.
