AI ‘Redesigns’ World Landmarks In Other Distinct Architectural Styles
People traverse all over the world to admire the local architecture, the cemented manifestation of a place’s distinct culture and resources. Well, what if these styles flipped?
Such alternate realities are now easier to visualize with the help of artificial intelligence. Using the text-to-image tool Midjourney, the folks at realtor comparison site GetAgent have reimagined some of the world’s most famous buildings as though they were designed by architects in other eras and parts of the world.
Take, for example, Big Ben, a notable embodiment of the Gothic Revival period which has now been “redesigned” in the Industrial style, flaring a minimal appearance and exposed materials.
Meanwhile, the neoclassical White House has been given a Victorian-inspired makeover, the Parthenon of Ancient Greece has time-traveled to the Bauhaus design era, and the Sydney Opera House has stepped back into the Tudor period.
In addition to the AI overhauls, property experts of the platform have culled Google search data to discover the favorite architectural styles of homeowners, which appear to be in this respective order: modern, Victorian, Gothic, brutalist, Tudor, contemporary, Art Deco, Baroque, Cape Cod, and Renaissance.
