The way there videos are made, feels like a documentary, very elegant and clean. I admire your work and it inspires me! Keep going and thanks for such great content!
This is one of smartest and honest ways to use automation. Most people (movie studio VP) think AI can crate this entire process while reality is other. This video shows how the user does the creative thinking and use "AI" to automate the production work at a faster rate.
You've done it again! Hands down the most entertaining, informative and impressive showcase of a "typical" architectural task. This is very likely the way the AI workflow will impact architecture in the near future. Not as a substitute of an actual human being, but as a powerful visual idea iterator. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the promts!
Coming from the photography world, I think it will be a similar thing. People are worried about AI replacing photographers, but the reality is that people want creative vision, not just the result. AI will never really replace that. AI will however, come to serve as an exceptionally useful tool in creative ideation and development. Like Eric said, it's more like sketching than having any prepared final product. That's left up to the individual.
This video brilliantly showcases the power of AI in architectural design, highlighting its potential to enhance creativity and efficiency in a good way.
Finally! Had been looking forward to this one since you’d mentioned it! What an interesting take on mid journey & how you’re always educating us every step of the way inspiring us to take action!
@@30by40 Yes I have been experimenting with different forms of a.i. both visual and written. Like you outlined here I consider it similar to a sketch, to look at things a little differently. But what I really like about these examples in your videos is how you are using a.i. not really to explore a form, but to explore a mood, materiality and color. Im excited about trying something similar.
Just the artistic elements of your videos make them worth watching. Great content as always. I wish I were at the beginning of my career, with all this new technology, rather than near the end! Very cool stuff.
Your process for handling MJ is fantastic. Thanks. Been on the MJ wagon for quite some time, in the design world for many decades. I've been enlightened with your design process vs my slice-n-dice, no control, 'unique', but none the less 'pretty pictures' of Archviz
Cheers, thank you! I definitely don't pretend to have it all figured out and I know that the 'unique pretty pictures' can be fruitful at times as well!
This is a really great overview of how to integrate AI tools into the architectural design workflow. Midjourney is excellent for quickly visualizing concepts and analyzing the novel results as you've mentioned. Great work! We're also pursuing similar workflows with our practice 🤘
Thanks, Stephen! I've been watching you work magic on your channel so, thank you for the continued discourse and dialogue and for showing others - like myself - how to leverage AI for our work. Cheers... \m/
I’m honored. That means a lot. And thank you for sharing your path and pursuits. You’ve been a big inspiration and an encouraging voice in starting my own practice 🙏🏼
I've found it's like consulting with a 3 year old designer who is a savant at drawing. It draws you with intriguing imagery and you search for useful concepts, but ultimately it has nothing grounded to say. It does seem to get me unstuck though.
I have always loved the visual play you can get with thin rectangular slats that are spaced correctly, with the added benefit of creating shading for western sun. I use that as a tool in most of my projects.
@@30by40comfyUI and it's workflow style UI is nicer for many artist types than the traditional A1111. Stable diffusion and LoRas with fine-tuning checkpoints can get you really amazing results.
Very beautiful filmmaking. I like the evocative tone with the meditative soundtrack! Interesting method to incorporate ai into the sketching, almost like someone having a dialogue with. It is a disruptive subject area. Thank you for your insights and your filmmaking. Incredibly rewarding! 👍
I watched this with a wry smile. I have been on board with the channel from very early on.. I did think , 'What would that Eric think about the use of A.I. in the design process?'
Great video, as usual! Have you heard of DALL-E? What would you say are the main differences in your experience between the two, if you have used DALL-E?
As an architect seeking career guidance, I'm curious about your professional journey and any insights you could share on navigating the architectural field to enhance job satisfaction and success
Hi, I actually have a question unrelated to this video. (Though who knows how this will be useful in the future for me.) BUT, I've started my journey of advertising design by going back to school this year. I wanted to know if you think there would be anything beneficial in taking an Intro to Architecture class next semester or later on?
I’d like to see where this „part of the larger process” leads you. Show us an end result so we can judge how much of the impact on your creativity it had at the end. My opinion is that most of the users will end up this process on choosing one of the generated image after max 3 tries, and that is just sad.
i know this may comes out as VERY cliche , but do you think an upcoming architecture can be successfull on their own ? , im an architecture student and already in my last year at uni , im not a straigh A student to be exact but my grade aint necessarily bad ( never got any C's) but until now i've never actively participate in any group or community that focuses on architecture skills in particular like there's a club in my uni that pushes the member or help them get into competition , and im not into that ( the grouping i mean )
The video is amazing and informative. I would like yo know is there any kind software or programme like procrate for sketching. I’m using an hp tablet but I can see all the artist and designers are uaong procrate on I pad
@@30by40 My interior design students are traditionally weak in sketching and often because of time limits are also not exploring realistic 3D texturing - rendering as much as I do. The AI results are often not perfect but so are my renderings not really photo-realistic like a photo. Using the AI to create design variations, render interior concepts based on some raw 3D models, and similar tasks are so accessible and fast it is fascinating to see. And then also how it can be used to edit photos via in and out painting.
I'm on the Standard ($30/mo) plan which provides access to the latest releases and 15hrs of fast gen time. I'd consider myself a 'moderately heavy user' over the past two months. This month I'm down to 6 minutes of gen time remaining with two days left. Stealth image gen would be the most appealing upgrade feature of the Pro plan (IMO)
Soon customers will be able to express what they want. Sounds a bit detrimental to the profession but I suspect it will be similar to photography, with digital and cellphones changing and thinning their line of work.
SD's UI scared me off a bit...but I should return and try it again. I've used Dall-e, but I found the images too plastic and nonsensical. It has some features I wish were in MJ though.
Over the life of our careers....the newest technology...once understood, is another tool that can be manipulated to assist in making real...a very human intent: meaningful Architecture. That creativity will always be at the core of our inquiry and challenge. Thanks for suggesting...an embrancing of this new AI tool. John Ferraz, Retired Architect/ Project Consultant.
Amazing video as always Eric, I also posted a video on my channel using stable diffusion + controlnet on how you can use AI to help control geometry and creates renders from basic sketches if you're interested
Remember people, treat AI like Jarvis where you’re Tony Stark. The brains is all you but you have a intelligent assistant to do the dirty work. Once you rely on AI to design something, it becomes poisonous
The only problem being right now this is singular, takes too much time to reproduce the same aesthetic across completely different environments, you learn just some data science text matching algortihm that you do by hand, you didn't get better at creating anything with your hands, you can't get hires prints because of current limitations. It's a nice toy for sure. But my point being if anyone re invests that time at becoming a better visual artist in any form, 2d, painting, 3d, animation then having to use these tools will only enchance creatuon not become the prison for the creativity
Interesting - so you are essentially using it a bit like collecting precedent images except selecting and remixing them to fit better with what you are looking for.
I think if you can take anything from this it's that AI tools can be incorporated as one part of a larger process. I see the images as a waypoint that can influence a next action or new direction rather than an endpoint or finished result. The continual shift between analog and digital processes is both satisfying and fruitful for me but not for all.
Has AI increased architects’ profits, fees, and salaries? Probably not as they undervalue their services by doing free work, not charging for the smallest of design changes and hiring people at the lowest of salaries.
Lol people in frenzy trying to integrate the tools that will replace them, as if the maxim "if you cant beat them, join them" would work wiht incoming AI overtake. This is the last hurrah.
LOL!!! As an industrial designer for the last 20 years Midjourney is more like a software for ideation and brainstorming and should not be used to develop the final design!!!!! LMAO!!!

Interesting - so you are essentially using it a bit like collecting precedent images except selecting and remixing them to fit better with what you are looking for.
Would it be insulting to do this yourself and bring some to an architect to polish out the idea?
Similar approach to creating music. Mixing until you find the right sound. AI doesn't have a soul, so it can't understand or realize creativity
So true...great analogy!
AI imagery looks fake and unappealing, and LLM's distillations do little for me; guess I'm waiting for the moment when any of this bears edible fruit.
I think if you can take anything from this it's that AI tools can be incorporated as one part of a larger process. I see the images as a waypoint that can influence a next action or new direction rather than an endpoint or finished result.
