Turkish Architects Employ AI To Shape Architecture

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Turkish architects Ozan Ertuğ and Pınar Ongun, operating as Synthetic Architecture, began using AI tools such as MidJourney and ChatGPT to co-develop architectural concepts. They use prompts and storyboards to synthesize image libraries, encode site-specific constraints, and produce highly realistic visualizations for discreet clients in the Arab world. The pair emphasize designers retain creative control while AI acts as a collaborative interlocutor.
