SDXL Exploration

Year: 2023
Discipline: AI / Concept
Tools: Stable Diffusion XL, Blender
Images: 20

Architectural massing studies sketched as simple volumes, then developed into finished scenes with Stable Diffusion XL.

Overview

Workflow: Massing studies modeled as simple volumes, then developed into finished scenes with Stable Diffusion XL.
Why it matters: Generative tools are moving into early concept work, where fast exploration of many directions pays off.

Design language

Architecture sketched as pure volume, then handed to AI to finish.

Form: Stacked, cantilevered white boxes stepping down slopes and through forest.
Reference: Modernist and brutalist hillside architecture: heavy volumes that seem to float.
Process: Massing modeled in Blender as simple volumes, then developed into finished scenes with Stable Diffusion XL.
