Stemming from the familiar precedent analysis but leaving the interpretation completely up to AI, this seminar demonstrates a method of utilizing Midjourney in the design process with influential plan drawings as initial inputs, and using the results as “protoplans,” which through tracing and refinement become new architectural plans of their own.

INITIAL MIDJOURNEY FUSED PLAN
FINAL MIDJOURNEY OUTPUT SELECTED AS PROTOPLAN
The Midjourney ouputs, although born out fusing architectural plans, were not inherently architectural and required form-finding through tracing, editing, and refinement to transform it into a more orderly plan.
